I have decided today is the day that my beloved rottie will be pts
She has osteosarcoma.Have been managing the pain with metacam but she has started to struggle the last couple of days.She isn't happy so it's time.
I am absolutely devastated.
She has been a wonderful companion - a pain in the butt at times - but will be sorely missed
 
I'm sorry her time has come, ((hugs)) to you.

My sister took her rabbit to the vet yesterday and there were 2 people in the waiting room who were having their dogs pts. It reminded her of all her past dogs and she started crying. She said the vet must've thought she was bonkers, crying about her rabbit's teeth being trimmed :eek:.
 
It may be one of the hardest decisions you'll ever have to make, but if the time has come you know it's the right thing to do. The bond you share with your dog will let you know if it's time to be the voice she doesn't have. It truly is the last act of love and compassion you can show to your best friend. Thinking of you at this difficult time :-(
 
Such a hard decision, but sounds like it is the best for your rottie. My thoughts are with you, treasure the memories of her, you will be able to smile at them one day.
 
Oh I am so so sorry.. Your sisters dog won't know what is happening, just relief from pain but my heart goes out to your sister and what she is going through. Anyone who has lost a dog will know exactly what she is going through..
 
So sorry to read this, well done for putting her first and making the hard decision at the right time. Big hugs xxx
 
So so sorry. She will love you all the more for helping her when she needs you the most. Easy to say but tough to do. Good night God Bless, your Mum loves you so watch over her for a while. Hugs to you. J x
 
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this, last battle, can't be won.
You will be sad - I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day, more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stands the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want to suffer so,
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
Only stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you too will see
It is a kindness you do to me....
 
BH that poem has just reduced me to tears again !

My vet came and pts at home.He was very shocked at how quick the tumour had grown. She was only diagnosed with it 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts and wishes.
 
Hugs to you. At least she went peacefully in her own home, always a tough call but somehow especially so at Christmas.

RIP Rottie

That poem was sent to me when I lost Beau in September. I think it says it all when you are in this horrid situation.
Huge hugs. You have done right by your beloved dog and be sure he will be running free from pain over Rainbow Bridge.
I still fill with tears when I hear 2 certain pieces of music.
