How Do You Decide When Enough Is Enough?

I'm really sorry.

 

We have helped two pets cross over and I would recommend you be there with her when it's time. I also recommend you bring Emily with you. When it was time to let our non-grey Buzz go we brought Pepsi and Sky with us. They knew he was ill. Afterward we sat together and said our goodbyes.

 

It's not an easy thing to do but I think you may regret not being there with her. :grouphug :grouphug

I am so very sorry. I will be thinking of you and your family tomorrow. It is so hard; and yet we must be strong for them. It is the one time we dread, but the time when they really need us the most.

I am so sorry you are going through this. My thoughts will be with you today. I know how much you are dreading this, but you are doing the bravest, most loving thing for your pet. Take care and know that many people are thinking of you today.

Thinking of you i this terrible, horrible situation.

 

Nonetheless, we can help our furkids in this way by easing their pain, and being there to see them thru.

I've done it for several greys, and while it is not easy, it is a comfort to me to have seen them go so peacefully....

 

We will meet one day at The Bridge...

I'm so sorry for your loss - literally holding back tears as I type - and dreading the day that we will have to face this with either of our 2 greys (they are our firsts)... please let us know how Emily is.... good luck

I just went through the same thing with my dog last November. He had kidney failure and we adjusted his diet and other things. He did great for a while, but you just can't stop something like that. I said I would never have him put to sleep, but that changed when I saw how fast he was going down. After I made the decision, I felt much better, because I felt like I had freed him from how bad his life had gotten. I still miss him terribly, though. If it comes to having to make the decision, don't feel guilty. It is something you do out of love and it is something you give a lot of thought to. When it is time, you just know. Good luck. Hope the vet visit goes well.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had to send my two dogs to the bridge within six months of each other. It was the worst thing that I have ever had to do, but I know in my heart that it was the right time. I only wish that I had found a group like this when I had to go through it. I am new to this group, but am so thankful to have found such wonderful loving people all in the same place. Like you, I had to make that horrible decision and spent many hours on-line looking for answers. In the end, I realized that I was the only one who could make that decision and when the time was right I did. Now you have a wonderful support group to turn to with lots of people that have been through the exact same thing and are crying with you. My heart goes out to you. Please keep us updated about your other baby. She will be fine. Obviously, she has a wonderful loving family to care for her.
