I hadn't even thought about at home euthanasia until my sister in law had to put her beloved Yorkie to rest unexpectedly at only 7 years old. He had developed serious kidney disease and was in pain and incontinent and just such a sad time. I went down to Brooklyn where she lives to be with her the day she had to let max go and it was such a peaceful process. Not for us but for max... He went comfortably in his moms arms and such a better way to go than the fear and hesitation they feel at the vets office. My precious boy is almost 14 and I've had to take him for a dental as well as routine bloodwork and he is terrified of the vet... Just to see that fear in his eyes kills me and so I know for sure that when the time comes to let him go I will have the vet make a house call and let him go in the comfort of his familiar surroundingame and not scared. |
