You did the right thing, always ask if your doing it for the dog or you. We could have maybe kept Sig alive for another week, but that would have been for us, not Sig, as she was losing muscle mass and not eating. The Vet I hope explained the procedure before doing it, they might move after the shot but it is involuntary, not pain caused. As long as the dog could see you to the last, they felt safe and knew they were loved.
Take care and remember the good times when the missing times happen, we picked up our Yorkie pup today and broke down at the breeders. Our Sig passed in March and we still miss her every day. When we put the new pup back in her pen to do the paperwork, my wife totally lost it and I choked back a few too. There nothing wrong with remembering and maybe wet eyes once in awhile, prayers with you. |
