What about her? Do the right thing for your baby, even if it is hard for you. Will the IV give her quality of life? Or just prolong suffering? I dread the day I have to face this with my precious puppy baby. I feel so bad for you having to make these choices. |
So sorry about the loss of your mother.
You are right...those choices are never easy.
