We had that very painful decison to make also. When do you say enough.
We asked the vet what her prognosis was. He said they could rehydrate her and put her on a special diet but it was all just a matter of time. She would never get any better. She may have lived for another year or so, but she would have always been sick. So we made the decison to put her to rest. It was the hardest thing I ever did, but we feel it was the right decision for us.
Reading between the lines, I feel that you are feeling guilty about not wanting to incure any more debt on his behalf. I don't think you have anything to feel guilty about. If the vet can make him better then it would be worth any cost. but if it is just going to prolong his illness, then letting him go might be the kindest thing you can do for him.
I hope that helps.
May God give you the wisdom and strength to make the right decision. |
