My dog became very ill suddenly at the weekend and was rushed to the vet who referred us to a specialist surgical unit. After examining my dog, who was 10.5 years old, the surgeon said he had a septic abdomen and needed emergency surgery. He said he had only a 50:50 chance and may not survive the op. His organs were beginning to shut down. He couldn't be sure what he would find until he opened him up.
We had 10 mins to make a decision so felt it was best for him to let him go. I was worried about his quality of life if he survived and his age. He was so full of life and I couldn't bear the thought of him being less that he was. Now I am full of regret and think I should have given him a chance. How do I find some peace of mind?
