So it's Sunday morning, early. My old beautiful girl is 19! She's been frail for a while, very unsteady, but eating and drinking. Last night she appeared to be off her legs. I've had a sleepless night, she now is struggling to stand. She isn't interested in food but if I take her to her water she will drink. She looks a mess bless her as she's had an ongoing eye infection so all round her eye the fur is matter with pus. She's pure white and of course it looks awful. But she's had antibiotic drops and I clean her with water wipes. All around her snout is a mess too as she's been unable yo clean herself after eating. Again I've been cleaning her myself. This morning she's struggling to stand and when she tries to walk she is falling to one side. The time I've been dreading has come. Rang the vets and they were lovely they've asked me to bring her down at 9, which is two and a half hours off. I'm on my own with my son (single parent) he's 16 and is really upset obviously he's known her since he was born!!! Please reassure me I'm
Doing the right thing I feel like I'm 'condemning' her to death! I can't see her struggle tho. Also feeling so much guilt as I feel almost 'relieved' as she has been incontinent around the house for a while And it's been hard work. Someone please help........
