I have had my best friends on YT question my choices concerning vet care. I knew it was with good intentions. In the end, I only have Max and Teddy to answer to, whether or not I have done my best in taking care of them. |
Agreed. Health care choices are the hardest to make because we are so emotionally invested. 5 months ago, I knew I just had to try to make Kaji better. I just knew for a fact I'd regret if I didn't give him every opportunity, every treatment, and any food changes needed. These past few weeks, I have a profound sadness because I think I caused Kaji prolonged suffering in my attempts to save his life.
An empathetic ear is sure helpful though, to calm nerves and help us feel centered again, which is needed to move forward. I hope, OP, that you are able to filter out the not so nice, and focus on the posts that uplift you in your time of need.
