Subject: I've been through this heartbreak so many times and it never gets easier. You lost a member of the family and it hurts deeply. I've learned to sense when I need to go to the vet because nothing is working and it is only going downhill. Even my kids ask me, "Is it time, Mom?" I don't usually wait very long when I see it coming for everyone's sake. You have my deepest sympathy, TF.
In reply to: TF 's message, "We have 2 other dogs and a cat. I think we are covered in the loving pet department. I feel bad for getting the kids hopes up since I had ordered that holistic medicine and we really thought it was helping. She just refused to drink anything and I tried so hard to syringe feed her enough fluids. I really believe it was her time. I do wish I could have known how bad it would be at the end and how sacrey it would be for the kids. I would have had her euthenized last week." on 10:57:01 08/01/11 Mon

[> [> [> [> [> You did the right thing, IMHO. One night very late, my Irish Setter became very ill. I put her on a puffed quilt, lay down beside her and told her it was okay to go to sleep. She died in my arms and we went to the vet the next day to cremate her. It was a tough call, but the right thing to do at the time. -- jenks, 08:45:08 08/02/11 Tue [1]
