Aguila, yep that must be it. I took a grandchild to Mac Donald’s today and actually was the cheapest place to get just hamburger patties by itself. They cut workers I saw only had one window at the drive through instead of paying at one picking up at next. I made her chicken rice and vitamins here and there she loved but she enjoyed going out and getting her own food. Her back legs been going out for awhile so could not longer go out.
Her last episode the other day was so bad trying to go out side and could get out herself but couldn’t get back in then found her in distress and getting a heat stroke and was just warm but had a jet black coat that could heat up fast except the front. Major distress. She was suffering terribly.Breathing hard and labored and fast. Had to physically get her in fast as I could. Dealt with that and getting fluids drip by drip in her due to her breathing with a tiny bit of salt in the water while cooling her. She needed oxygen so fanned her non stop. After she couldn’t get up just laid there after that. I couldn’t bear seeing her suffer again like that or perhaps dying that way. It’s been one medical after another had blood in her urine about a month ago she was treated with tests and medicine for but it was quality of life but I kept on as long as she would. The last episode told me I was being cruel if I let her suffer like this. The doctor said it sometimes takes a bad episode like that to come to terms of letting them go. But even then you don’t want to. Next life I’ll have to become a vet.
I’m glad your getting more but I’m done.

Amals, thanks
You can emphasize with someone’s pain losing a pet and can see things in better perspective from the outside less you had one. But when it’s yours it’s hard to see that perspective.
If it was anything like the feeling I had I don’t know how you could do it again other than your giving another a good life cuz there’s a lot of bad out there. 17 years minus months is a long time but no consolation it seems.
