Kaitlyn Bristowe opened up about the “scariest week” of her life on Friday. One of her dogs was rushed to the emergency vet amid concerns of an overdose. “[Pinot] accidentally overdosed on his heart pills. They sent chicken flavored chewable ones instead of his usual ones, and he got into the package and ate 120 pills,” she wrote on Instagram.
She shared a carousel of images of Pinot at the vet “We were told to say goodbye, and I can’t even type that without sobbing,” she wrote. “He was on a ventilator and was having seizures.

I’d go every day to the critical care unit and lay with him because he always showed improvement when I was there,” Kaitlyn wrote on a photo of her cuddling her beloved dog on the floor.
