I made the toughest decision of my life and put him to sleep - he was suffering so bad - and he deserved better. A week and a half fight with this and it ended like this. I haven't stopped crying for 8 hours now. I hope he can forgive me. He was a fighter til the end and he will never be forgotten. Hope Brooklyn understands.
Katie, I can't say I know exactly how you are feeling but I can tell you that I know how I felt when my heart had to die.. He was 3 years and we tried everything; even giving him up to home where he would be the only pet, in case he was stressed about being one of several. There is no limit that we will not go to or sacrifices we will not make to help these babies. You did all that YOU could do..Nature knows what it is doing and sometimes nature's plan is opposite of ours but we lose..So, please do not blame yourself in any way. The decision to allow our babies to be set free of their pain and agony is one of the most unselfish and loving decisions a human can make.
There is a syndrome called Failing Puppy Syndrome and it can occur at a very young age.. Sometimes we save these babies only to have to make that oh,so hard decision, a bit later.
So, remember, you did all you could and we are praying that your broken heart starts to heal..Bless you |
