I have to decide to put my 11 yo dog to sleep

She has a mass pushing her stomach and intestines. She seems to be in a good disposition otherwise. $400 worth of test inconclusive.

What ever you decide will be the best thing you could. It’s very hard but you always have memories. Best wishes.

Hi what an awful decision. I would take the advice of the vet ie do s/he think an operation could be successful and if so what are the odds? If not then is your lovely dog in pain or distress - again ask the vet.

I hope the news is good and you can get her treated. x

my workmates brother has a dog over six month ago the vet said even if they operated his dog it could be days.they took a chance and got another vet to operate and the dog is full of life 6 months later.always good to get 2nd opinion heres hoping.

So much love and sympathy. It’s an awful decision to make.

I have a older dog , but I have gone through this with others in the past. I am so very sorry. Animals are so wonderful, and they love us. May your dog be at peace after the fact, and may you find some comfort knowing this. It's very hard.

Again, it is an awful decision to make. I hope there is a way to extend her life, and the vet gives you good, honest advice.

He doesn’t sound too positive because of her age. I just think if it was a person people wouldn’t think it’s not worth it because of their age. Why does something that brings us so much joy have to leave us so early?

[gogogirl in reply to Hidden]

I agree- and I hope you can seek a second opinion. Sending you my warmest wishes.

I am very sorry.... sending many warm hugs. ❤

Dear Pika1202,

My deepest empathy is with you. The process of letting go of a furry friend is very heart rendering. It’s easy on the mind to think that they’ll be at peace with no pain. Yet our hearts still hurt from the loss.

A couple of months ago, our little 1 year old Tabby, Miss Tasha became ill. We took her to the vet back/forth and $2,000 later they discovered she was born with an autoimmune disease. Basically a genetic disposition.

She was the friendliest and sweetest cat I ever had. The night she was dying she was in such pain and real out if it. Hubby and I had to do what we had to do. Just before she died, she looked so beautiful while looking back at us.

Now Miss Tasha is in Heaven with my Mother’s care. I still miss her terribly. It was like losing a child. But she’s running free and having fun with my Mom.

Ironically Miss Tasha’s sister was still available for adoption. We named her Miss Sasha. She’s still a bit skittish. But she’s coming around. She’ll never be like Miss Tasha, yet it feels wonderful to have another furry friend to love.

Anywho, as mentioned, you have my sincere empathy.

Best,

MZ

Ky sisters dog whom I loved the bones of just dropped dead suddenly 18 months ago. She was 7 and a half. We have no idea why but we were absolutely gutted and still are. As far as we knew she was fit and healthy. x
