My dog is dying
One of my dogs is in bad shape, she is 15yo, and got an infection on her teeth, it's now also on her respiratory system, it would be something treatable, but she has also liver and kidney problems, so the anesthesic is off the table, they cannot make her sleep for cleaning the teeth and controlling the infection. She's been all her life with my boyfriend, we moved in toghether almost 3 years ago and she is now also my baby, but my bf is her primary caregiver, so he has decided it's time to let her rest, I agree like in a logical way, but my heart is broken in a million pieces, i've been crying for 3 days nonstop, my anxiety is on the sky and I feel really depressed. I have not feel this bad since my dad passed and that still hurts a lot, now loosing my baby doggie feels like its adding to the pain I have not solved yet and honestly I feel like im dying with her. She is still here, literally just in front of me right now and I'm already hurting so much.

i have gone through this myself and have my dog and 2 of my kids dogs reaching the point of long life for that breed etc type of thing we know it will come so far not sure how as there does not seem to be obvious signs ...
the dread weighs on me a lot if i come home and dog is in the back room where he like to sleep and has not made it out to living room i worry ......... he slept in today as he usually wakes us up to be fed i reached down to see if sleeping or maybe he passed .... it is one of the items i think i will not get another but we have more then once....... each persons grief is different but many of us have felt that pain you are going through.
@sincerePlace8195 Tomorrow is the day, I'm devastated, I can't do this 😔
Hi. I am so sorry for your loss. I went thru the same thing for the first time in 2016. I hot a Golden at 6 weeks. He was with me for 11 years. One morning out of nowhere he had a growth on his gums.
I took him to a Vet. Had the growth removed & tested. This particular Vet waited 10 days until I finally got it out of him it was Cancer. By this time, my pups mouth had tons of little bumps that had grown in that 10 days.
Goldens typically live 10 to 12 years. I thought he had to have been in pain for awhile now. But dogs cannot let us know when they are in pain. I decided to have him put to sleep. We made the appointment & brought him in. Bawling the whole way. He kept licking us & all.
It was sooo hard. I'm crying now.
But it ended his pain. He was no longer in pain.
The cancer would've spread. Deformed his head. I googled it.
Just know it was the right thing to do. He will always be in your heart.
