Dog quite elderly (rescue from the council pound) we bonded instantly and have had 7 glorious years. Around 8 months ago she was diagnosed with arthritis. She's always been a happy soul and I and DH were agreed that as long as she seemed happy she should continue to live a lovely life with our family.
This morning I rose at 6am and she was lying outside our bedroom door (not usual) for her.
She was panting and salivating (again not usual) refused her food (3rd time this week) just kept pacing around and making awkward positions (for her) like the pain had become too much to put up with.
Long story short she was PTS just over 5 hours ago.
She seemed to rally at the end, was enthusiastic about getting into the car and into the vets.
Vet double questioned me about if I was absolutely sure regarding my decision (she was seeing a happy albeit elderly dog)
I knew my dog. I know she wanted me to end her pain. But I can't help feeling I made a mistake
