Ellie is going to RVC tomorrow, vet says only option is an op which she has a 20% survival chance, i dont think she will be coming home tomorrow.

im so gutted, iv lost so many animals over the years but they have all been old and i sort of knew it was thier time to go, but with Ellie it just feels like its not fair, shes only 6 and she shouldnt be suffering like this.

i cant say goodbye to her

oh petal, what a nightmare. What is the actual diagnosis, where and what is the problem?

I'll be thinking of you both tomorrow, all the very best and I hope she surprises you all xxxxx

If not - it's not right when they go too soon, but I'd rather they had a short, happy and active life than a long one full of surgeries and medications.
We can understand what is wrong with us, animals don't.
 
its inbetween her chest where that little dip is just under their throat, theres no blockage, i dont think they really know why its not working but she cant eat and keep anything down.. only very small mouthfuls at the moment shes starving, her weight has dropped loads since last week.

vet says that area is very difficult to operate on, even in humans, she stands little chance, i think my mum wants to put her to sleep so she dont have to go through an op just to be put down after it anyway. its so difficult i feel so sorry for her shes such a happy dog
 
Fingers crossed, if there is a 20% chance that the operation does go well and that she then can live a normal life, then if it doesn't go well, at least you will know that you tried.


I've had to euthanize a dog when she was only 2 years old and it was different thoughts that made it difficult, than compared to when it has been time for my old dogs. Though in a way no help at all, it still helped/helps knowing that we had tried everything we could before euthanizing, if that makes any sense.

Sympathy and {{{Hugs}}}.




Fingers crossed for Bodo too.
