giadog Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think we have to let Moe Moe go today. He was doing well overall, then yesterday went downhill so quickly. First I came home from work and noticed his back left leg was completely swollen and hot to the touch. His tumor is in his pelvic bone, not actually his leg, but that's the leg that always showed all the symptoms. Then last night, I noticed there were no potty accidents (pee) around the house, which is unusual for him. This morning I took him out to potty, and he still was unable to pee. He's no longer excited about eating, and I think his poor old body is just shutting down. I'm sure we could go in and cath him, but it's just going to be band-aiding problems over and over again, and they'll come fast and faster. His eyes are tired and he's telling me he's ready. I hope I'm not just doing this because it's too hard on me, I hope I'm reading him right. My sweetest old man always takes such good care of me, I want to make sure I take care of him. I love you, Moe Moe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feisty49 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 This is one of the most difficult decisions to be made, whether a beloved pet or a beloved relative. You can read your boy better than anybody. If you see it in his face, then it is time. I wish you peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Listen to your gut. And to what Moe Moe is telling you in his eyes. It's the hardest gift to give them, but the kindest. I'm so sorry you didn't have more time but better a day early than a day too late. Hugs to you and Moe Moe and a peaceful passing for your sweet boy. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.
