I once went way overboard with a renal failure pup. Of course I thought I was helping him, but in the end I believe he suffered longer than he should have. His photo is at my bedside and I speak to him often and tell him how sorry I am that he felt so sick. I know in my heart I thought I was helping and I am sure he knows...but I can tell you this: I will never push hard like that again. I WISH someone had told me he had no chance .. I won't go into detail but suffice it to say it was way too much.
17 is very old for a yorkie...you are, in my opinion, very fortunate to have had her so long!
I don't wish to tell you what to do. I am only going to say that you need to search deep within yourself. Are you doing this for her or for you? If you let her go on and she suffers and starts having seizures or dies, will you be ok knowing how badly she felt during her last days. I personally would rather take them to my vet and let them go peacefully....but, that is just me. You have to do what you think is best.
I will keep you in my thoughts. I wish you well...again I am so sorry. So hard.  |
Oh thank you very much for the response LadyJane, you're much appreciated.
I understand completely what you're saying and I'm honestly doing it for her as I believe she wants to be here still. I've had her for the whole 17 years, I know her inside out and to me right now she isn't a dying dog.
Sure she has a chronic disease that will eventually make her part ways with us to a better place, but she is still eating, drinking, peeing, now pooing normally again (no diarrhoea) and rolling around in her bed which is something she always done when she was happy.
These are the reasons I have not passed her on to the other side. Am I being unreasonable at this stage?
