To be honest mate the vet was wonderful , they gave isa lot of advice and options . Ultimately it’s th cliche of being cruel to be kind . I don’t want her to suffer
To be honest mate the vet was wonderful , they gave isa lot of advice and options . Ultimately it’s th cliche of being cruel to be kind . I don’t want her to sufferIt is the worst thing about having a pet. My heart goes out to you, Daz. Enjoy these moments the most you can. Not that I want to push you in any direction, but don't question yourself in getting a second opinion if you feel uncertain. I have had some bad experiences with vets who wanted to push us down this avenue (not saying it is the case for you).
Best wishes to your family and try to keep your spirits up. What a great life Daisy has had with you, and you should be very proud.
Oh, Daz. I feel so sad for you. What a horrible thing to go through. If you make the decision to say goodbye, please be there with her. Be thinking of you all day.We took our dog Daisy to the vets last night , she has a tumour . The vet said an operation will be too traumatic for her , they gave her an injection to stop the sickness and some gastrointestinal sensitive food . They said the longer we leave her the more she will suffer . My wife and daughter are in bits , we have made the decision just not sure when to do it . Even looking at daisy she looks sad and she is so lethargic I’m really going to miss her as taking her on walks were a godsend when my dad died . Heartbroken

We are all here for you - Even if you just need this thread as a space where you can talk about the coming days, weeks months and how it's making you feel so you can put on a brave face in front of your family. We've all been thereThanks for your advice I’ll suggest to my girls and see what they say .
I won’t leave her side mate she was with me when I needed herOh, Daz. I feel so sad for you. What a horrible thing to go through. If you make the decision to say goodbye, please be there with her. Be thinking of you all day.
It's always heartbreaking when you lose a much loved Dog .... best thoughts mate.I won’t leave her side mate she was with me when I needed her
Thinking of you Daz and your family. We had the same with our dog, vets were great but let us know the decision was ours, and we would know when it was time. It brought to my mind someone said to me once about their pain etc, better to be one day too early than one day too late. In the end when we got home from the vets we saw the pain he was in and went back the very next day, we were all there at the end which helped tremendously, stay strongI won’t leave her side mate she was with me when I needed her
This is the worst part of owning any pet, we have had to make this decision twice & from reading the reactions to this post I had tears in my eyes thinking back to when we last made it in 2019 and also for you & your family having to face it now. It is an incredibly hard and sad position to be in & will not be easy for weeks & months to get over but the memories you have are a great healer & they will never go. We still talk about the 3 dogs we have lost and it makes us happy and sad. Dogs love is unconditional which makes any decision difficult but you have to do what is best for Daisy.We took our dog Daisy to the vets last night , she has a tumour .

Lovely photoTears in my eyes when I wrote my post - still miss our last one everyday - there’s some things of his around the house - can’t get rid of them as he never judged us and gave everything - passed on the day after my birthday just remember all the best things about having him - 15 years old View attachment 49251

I lost my best little mate two weeks short of his 10th birthday. That was about 18 months ago. It was extremely sudden. One day he's running around like a puppy,but the next morning, he was just gasping to breathe. I phoned the vet who said to bring him straight down and we'll put him on oxygen. I took him and the vet said to leave him for the day and they'll phone later today. I went back home and literally 15 minutes after getting home, they phoned me. He said "can you get back urgently. We're losing him!" I dashed back and they took me straight into the back of the vets where my boy was just laying there, still struggling to breathe. The vet said he had a massive amount of fluid on his lungs and there was nothing he could do. It would be best to let him go. That was it. I gave him hugs and then while I held onto him, he was given the injection. I just broke down and cried my eyes out.Tears in my eyes when I wrote my post - still miss our last one everyday - there’s some things of his around the house - can’t get rid of them as he never judged us and gave everything - passed on the day after my birthday just remember all the best things about having him - 15 years old View attachment 49251
Bless ! We had the ashes of ours in a box in the house for a long time so we decided to put two trees in the garden with the ashes underneath - both trees bloom at different times - I also shaped a bush that I can talk toI lost my best little mate two weeks short of his 10th birthday.

We had him cremated and have his ashes casket in our bedroom, along with his favourite toys, rosettes and paw prints. I still get upset thinking about that day - even now as I type, I'm filling up. He was my whole life, my companion and best friend. Never forgotten. His "shrine" in our bedroom.
RIP Harvey, my beautiful Chihuahua.
