need advice on an ill dog

[Flagg]

I'm a huge animal lover Dec, and any advice given by people here will be easier for them to dispense because they are not in your situation.

12 years and up is considered quite old for a cat or a dog, and if old age is catching up to her and compromising her way of life, are you simply prolonging her suffering? Look at it this way, imagine if you were kept in your home the last 7 months, and you barely left the place, and even the most mundane of tasks were agony...how would you feel? Again, it's easy for me to say this, as im not the one in your situation and if it were me, I wouldn't want to put one of my pets down so easily.

I remember years back having this big black cat called Boot. He was a real blokes cat, a bit of a scrapper and loved the attention of people. In the end, he was 14 years old and his back legs stopped working. It was heartbreaking to see a once, strong animal, look so weak and miserable. We didn't have any choice but to end his suffering and I had to leave the vets via back, I was in pieces that much.

It will be very, very hard to do, but if your dogs quality of life is being severely compromised, I think you need to do what is best for your dog.

yeah its fvckn horrible, i wish i had the cash just incase theres an outside chance she could be sorted. our pets have cost us big this year, our pixiebob tom had to have an eye operation costing 1000 at the start of the year, he isnt covered as hes a hybrid cat, our female pixiebob took some sort of fit in the early hours afew w'ends ago, that was 200 emergency call out and the dog has run into almost 1500. i dont begrudge spending on my pets and would do anything for them but unfortunately they've cleaned us out this year, i was out of work for 3mths also which didnt help.

Maybe I'm just be being oversensitive about what u said. This is by no means an easy subject and I personally may not be in Dec's situation. I would not speak about such a thing or try to give any form of advice on such a matter unless I had been in a sh*tty situation that has similar feelings and circumstances involved. None of which I dispense out easily. I can definitely relate to the turmoil that this man is going through and has gone through.

yeah, god knows what abuse she was inflicted with when she was being used for breeding, the poor things teets havent even ascended since, apparently she had boxer cross pups and the puppy farming cvnt twigged a boxer must have 'got at her'. he just lashed her into the pound and the dalmatian society took her on and thats where i rescued her from. she didnt even have a name and if you lifted your hand out of your pocket she immediately lay down and closed her eyes, took three years for her to loss that fear. i just wonder if her problems now come from being beat and too many litters of pups?

ive decided its going to be best to put her to sleep

Very fortunate for her that you was able to get her out of that situation and give her the good life Dec. I know your doing it soon, your in my thoughts.
