Guest jenznaz Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I just feel so helpless. The mast cell tumor has just been getting bigger and bigger but tonight it's driving him crazy. Gave him Tramadyl a couple of hours ago. He's been panting hard since 3am, but at least he's stopped getting up and moving around (it's 4:47am). His whole foot looks like a club-foot. Just needed to vent. Feeling a little crazy from lack of sleep! Wondering if it's almost time to say goodbye... jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilysmom Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I feel for you. In my opinion when it seems like it difficult for comfort measures to work then it very well may be time to set him free from pain. It's a gut wrenching decision but it must be done to keep our precious babes from suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Hang in there. Quote Praying for all the missing greys!

Ragsysmum Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Only you can decide but you must put his needs first however much it hurts. Rather a day too soon than a day too long for our precious hounds.

Guest Energy11 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Prayers and hugs coming from here, as well! As one person already said, only YOU can decide, but if your baby is really suffering ... might be "time." ALWAYS sooo hard to make that decision! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Guest GreysAndMoreGreys Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sometimes you have to trade the pain in their bodies for the pain you will have in your heart for letting them go.
