Euthanizing a fur baby When Lizzy had her stroke at 2 in the morning on 5/3 she was paralyzed from the neck down. She seemed to be aware of her surroundings and even drank water I offered her while laying in our lap. She steadily deteriorated until I took her to the vet at 8:30. He said "it was time." I know it was in my heart but she cried when they gave her the shot and I can't stop crying when I think about it because I can still hear her. She had a stint but does that hurt them??? |
I am so sorry for your loss! I don't think it hurts them. |
I am so sorry for your loss. I don't think she was in pain, but perhaps she was upset about everything going on around her and the frustration of not being able to move. It is so hard to lose our little fur kids, regardless of the circumstances. I wish you peace and comfort in the coming months; it just takes time to deal with this huge loss. |

She was with the one who she loved most and who loved her the most. That is what I believe is important during the time of a loved one's passing. There are hard decisions in life that break the heart but are the right thing to do. I am so sorry for your pain but don't let it haunt you, everything you did was out of love and compassion. |
Most heartbreaking thing in the world to do. :( It still makes me feel so sick to my stomach with Minnie a year later. |
I am very sorry for your loss. Letting them go is the hardest and most compassionate thing we have to do for our pets. You gave her peace and freedom from suffering. |

I cant even imagine your pain. I recently had to give my Toto and Lea up for adoption and it still hurts me. its been almost 6 months but i still wake up every morning waiting for my babies to lick my face to wake up at 7am sharp just to go on a potty break. |
I'm very sorry for your loss, but you did the right thing by not letting her suffer. It's one of the hardest things to do, Megan yelped one time when they gave her the relaxing shot, and my Vet told it was ok for her to have the last word, just like any Yorkie does. It's still hard almost a year later, but I always try and remember the good times. Wishing you the best. Quad & Gina:aimeeyork |
This should be a happy time for John and I since we are both retired as of Friday. I am ruining it with my bawling. I so appreciate the sweet support of this community. My head says "you did what had to be done." My heart says the last thing you did was make your beloved best friend cry and die." Thus the tears.. I am just praying God will heal me. We are heading out to the lake to celebrate John's retirement with friends. Love an Hugs to you all. |
The vet warned me that my baby would cry but it was more of a surprise and not pain. It doesn't matter why they cry because that is the last thing you want to happen. I hope your weekend brings you some happiness. So very sorry for your loss. |
My heart breaks for you. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it'll take quite some time to heal from this traumatic experience, but in time you'll be able to see that what you did was done out of pure love and compassion for your sweet girl. I pray the Lord will comfort you and give you strength during this time of mourning. <3 |

It took weeks to stop thinking of that horrible last image of Minnie, but eventually my thoughts were almost all of her happy and excited, jumping on me and my furniture when I came in through the door, or parading her bird and squirrel kills around the house. It\'s just going to take time to get that heartbreaking image out of your head. |
Oops, I mean to write "there was no recovering from it once we got there with her." :( |
