Lucky was a 4-year-old gentle giant who I'm sure you know spread overwhelming joy, love, and paws :) On May 30, 2025, around 5 pm, he was taken into the emergency vet because we noticed low energy and a bloated stomach. If you've ever gotten the chance to be around him, you'd know this temperament was abnormal, and we knew we needed to get him looked at. To our surprise, by 6 pm, he was considered an emergency patient who had abdominal bleeding due to a mass inside his spleen that burst, lowering his RBCs, BFV, and causing extreme fatigue and pain for our boy, causing extreme urgency in our next steps. Lucky was given meds to make him comfortable and was into surgery by 8:30 pm that night, suctioning his blood, removing clots, giving him auto-transfusions, removing the spleen, and giving him extra donated blood transfusions and plasma. He had a team of doctors, including us, working hard to ensure his comfort and success. The surgery lasted 2 1/2 hours, with extensive blood loss, being considered high risk for anesthesia. Lucky fought so hard and made it out of the ER around 1:30 am Saturday, 5/31. We were blessed his body fought and pushed through a long and extensive surgery with tons of blood loss; he was stable and coming out of a deep nap, seemingly doing well. Around 2:30, his heart rate spiked, oxygen dropped when his rate wasn't stressed, and he started going into extreme stress internally. He was surrounded by loved ones as we sat there with him; he was under warm blankets, and his team did another blood transfusion to try to make up for his loss. Lucky's body was fighting its hardest in complete distress from blood loss, extensive surgery, and now no clotting factors to attempt to help him make new blood and recover. Around 3:30 that morning, we said goodbye to the sweetest boy who was a young, wise soul loved purely to his last seconds. In our attempts to make Lucky comfortable and continue his bright life, it sadly brought a huge financial strain on Jae, who did everything he could to read Lucky's energy, take him in when he noticed, stay with him, and sadly pay for an unsuccessful surgery that took baby boy from all of us too soon.
