Marcismom, I am so sorry to hear about the problems your Marci is having. I have friend who bred Doxies and one of her puppies had hydrocephaly. When I was a kid my neighbor's son had the same thing and he lived to age 15 and was always a baby. The point I am trying to relate is that you have to make the decision for your baby based on what is right for him. I had a beautiful boy who had pneumonia 3 times last winter and 2 times before winter really started this past winter. I had decided I would not put him thru more than 3 times this winter and when he was really sick for the last time, I brought him home and laid him across my chest to sleep that night. I prayed "Dear God, take him away tonight. If you cannot take him, please give me the strength to do what is right for him!" He struggled so hard to breath all night and the next morning, I called my vet and made the final appt. She cried as much as I did..they made a little mold of his paw and cut a lock of his hair that is taped to the frig. I pray that you can put your baby to rest and find peace that you can say "I did all I could!" Bless you and him and you are in my prayers. |
