Had to say goodbye to my little lady

[Randommother]

I’m heartbroken. My beautiful 13 year old girl was at the vets today for an X-ray to look into an issue she’s been having with her back legs. She’s been losing weight recently, and while she was under they discover that she has tumours in her chest cavity. We had to make the heartbreaking decision to not wake her up, and I’m devastated. I knew she was ill, I just hadn’t considered it was this bad. The vet said that she would only have had a few days if we had brought her round and brought her home. I know it was the right decision for her, but I wish I’d been able to say goodbye to her. I’m dreading telling the kids when they get home from school.

I’m so sorry for your loss
There is a memorial thread if you would like to post some pictures and tell us a bit about her.
I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.

So sorry for your loss. Sending love ❤️

You poor lamb...what an awful shock for you. How old are your children and were they aware she was poorly

So sorry for your loss. A peaceful ending is the last gift we can give our beloved pets.

Thanks everyone, and thanks for the link to the memorial thread, I’ll take a look.

We lost our 18 year old cat a week today. She had a tumour in her throat and was put to sleep there and then. We weren't allowed in the consulting room, but they sedated her and we spent time with her in the waiting room till she fell asleep. I spent the first few days crying, then the next few days unable to talk about her without my voice going wobbly. Saturday, we picked her ashes up which really helped. Today we had steak for tea and it made me smile to think she would have been straight onto the table after a piece. Thinking of you x

So sorry for your loss.
