My first pet had liver shunt, just like yours too small for surgery. Breeder chose to give me another dog in return and let me nurse mine and give it meds, heck some breeders really don't want to bother. the breeder told me of course that I'm responsible for meds and I signed papers saying so... but it was me and her til the end and it hurt, me, but she knew mama was taking good care of her the whole time. She passed a month 1/2 later at my house.
I knew it's a hard decision and your heart is broken, an idea is to ask the breeder if he'd like for you to care for her til the end... if you have the strength to. It's emotionally draining. It's hard either way, She's gone now and he may be the most loving breeder in the world and you could easily be at rest with that. Just wanted to share my experience, I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. |
