 Theo
Dear Cheryl;
I feel deeply for you and Theo and what pain you are going through. It is a terrible decision to make to act as God in the care of your little one.
I have been through a similar period of pain when my little Yorkie had kidney disease. The Vet kept wanting to have her in for more needle sticks and IV's as she kept having more attacks. In the end I could no longer see her sad little face and tiny shaved legs for more IV's etc etc. She would snap back for a short time but lapse back into sickness. At first I believed the vet that she would recover after the next treatment, but it was not so. I am sure Vets have the best intentions but it seems they have little feeling for the suffering to us and the pets as they subject them to more and sometimes futile treatment.
Now she is gone and some of the guilt for making the terrible decision for her has left me, I feel very sad but also I cannot forget her misery and why I put her through all the Vet stuff for little or no reward.
You are right to consider stopping Vet treatment for little Theo, and giving him love and attention at home.
I wish you both all the best for you and Theo, and my prayers and thoughts are with you. |
