Guest TaraCoachCougar Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Heading to the vet this morning to say goodbye. It's extremely hard because she is trying her hardest, even hopped across the tile bathroom floor to get to a water bowel (I had placed one right beside of her bed). I think the meds have her pain under control, but she isn't using that leg at all and she doesn't make a good tripod with her shaky back legs. I don't want her to feel the pain of a broken leg (bad leg or back legs that get all tangled up when she hops to lay down) and feel like letting her keep fighting is unfair. At the most, she may get another couple of weeks without pain but would have to fight so hard just to change beds or stand up and pee on her bed. I've decided to go ahead and allow her to go on a day that she is low pain (the pain patch is supposed to be effective for a couple more days). God bless my little Chicken Cho. Momma loves!

Guest TaraCoachCougar Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Should have also added my thanks to all the GreyTalkers who have sent kind words or even just keep my Coachie in their thoughts for a quick moment. This and my wonderful vet and wonderful DH are what makes this bareable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach knows that you love her dearly. Take comfort in that. I know just how hard this decision and act is for you but please know that you are doing the best thing you can for your girl. This is the 5th anniversary of the day I had to let my first girl, Scarlett, go. I will ask Scarlett to stand at the bridge to welcome Coach.
