I just hate to see any animal or human suffer so much.
I had a Maltese, he was 15 years old, me and the Vet thought he had a heat stroke, he started being in so much pain, fell off of the sofa, hit his head, got to the point that he could not stand up to eat or drink, he would lay down while eating too pee.
Sorry, that is just my feelings.

You don't need to read very far into even the FIRST of the five HUNDRED twenty some odd posts here to be made aware that this is a little GIRL....

Regardless... I'm sorry about your Malty... 15 years is a very long time to have shared and I'm certain it must have broken your heart to have to part with a friend so dear.... but yes, in many instances, letting them go is the best, and most loving thing you can do for your baby... I agree.

Emma is HEALTHY right now... she is STRONG... and she's a FIGHTER......

She was born with a deformity.... one that CAN and WILL be corrected.

I was informed that Emma experienced from the initial surgery (the major surgery) the same amount of pain as a newborn human baby boy feels during a circumcision..... you are aware that they don't anesthetize babies for this procedure, no?

Of course, she had pain.... and may still have.................. but do you tell someone who has to fight for their life through cancer... to just lay down and die because they will have to endure some pain in order to reach for a cure???

Do you tell your child, who was born with a misaligned spine that they will simply have to deal with the deformity because the pain to repair it would be unbearable???

(surely you get my point here)

I don't understand your thinking...................... and don't care to discuss this further.............. please share your thoughts from here on out in this thread, only if they are a positive show of support for our girl.
