Very worried about my old girl.

Sorry you are going through this. I didn't want to alarm you but my old dog did have a day of being wobby and 'not quite right' before a full blown vestibular attack. I was able to get sedation and painkillers and bring him home for the night and then took him back the next day. I know they say dogs can recover in time but it can happen again, he was very old for his breed and always super independent and neither of us would have coped long term.
Thinking of you x

(I know you've probably made arrangements by now, but here there is a company of vets who travel to do home PTS).
 
I'm sooo sorry you're going through this, I can completely empathise having lost my beloved boy 1.5 weeks ago. I too opted for a home visit as I wanted him in familiar surroundings and to be as relaxed as possible. Sleep well little girl, go and see your Daddy xx
 
She has gone, only took half the dose to send her on her way so very ready to go. Euthanasia vet was fantastic and the chap who came with her has actually trained his dog at our club in the past so looked familiar. Her breath smelt dreadful so I suspect it was acute kidney failure. The other two have seen her so they know what has happened. Can't remember the last time I felt this bad except when Michael died.
I was telling the vet about Tess, the difficult collie I have foolishly taken on and it seems her latest collie has much the same problems, also started when she had her first season. She is like me always had farm dogs and never a problem till this one. She has put her on fluoxetine which she says has really improved her and suggests I see if I can try Tess on it. Worth a try I guess.
 
I have also been thinking of you and pleased that despite such a difficult day you found a supportive vet to be there for you and Jesse. I know it doesn't take away the loss but to have someone like that in those awful moments is so important. Please take really good care and keep reaching out to us here too if you need it.
