I can't quite believe it. She was 12, she's had spinal pain for years and lately the drugs she's been on long term just weren't cutting it. She's been so uncomfortable, getting very little restful sleep as she's up and down all night growling to herself, and in the last week she started doing it (jumping up in pain, pacing and growling) in the mornings as well as in the night.
I'd given her as much pain relief as I had available tonight then topped it off with tramadol, but she just couldn't sit or lie comfortably at all. DH and I have argued so often about when it would be time, as these issues have been around for a long time, but suddenly we just agreed that she'd had enough.
Vet had to give her 2 shots of sedative as she was super aggressive to the end, but she finally fell asleep in my arms with me and DH telling her that she was our best girl.
I feel absolutely wretched. Sorry if I don't comment for a while, I needed to write this out.
