I posted back in October last year abotu my German shepherb blue who had manged to run in to a tree and squash to veterbrae in his neck. Que major surgery 5 weeks in the vets and one very wobbly dog. He came home two weeks before xmas and we have been slowly getting him back to health. Physio coming every two weeks and hydrothearpy. Which trust me he hated
But sadly on Thursday he starting having fits, he only had 2 on thrusday but by friday he had started acting weird trying to go up stairs when he has never been allowed and standing in the middle on the pond. But at 12 he had one every hour until 4 when it was decided he had to go to the vets. Took him to the vets and the said the would get him on medication and we could bring him home tomorrow.
9am yesterday the vet phoned to say that they have been up all night with him as they were struggle to control the fits and that the only option left was for and MRi which may show were the problm is but it might not. Then I asked the dreaded questions would it be kinder if we put it to sleep. She simply replied that due to everything else he has suffered he would have no quality of life and it would not be fair on him.
So I arranged to go down at 12 to say my goodbyes. I held him in my arms as he slipped away. It is the hardest thing I ave ever down. It does not seem real at the moment.
I just can't beleive that I willl never be bringin him home. The hardest thing is he was still a baby, 23months. Not fair.
RIP Blue. Mummy loves you lots
I could really do with some vibes to know that I have done the right thing
 
Oh I am so sorry Fancyfree, poor you and poor Blue. It sounds as if you did absolutely the right thing, and he couldn't have asked for a better owner. You gve him every possible chance and in the end put him first. You may find it hard to believe but it does get easier, and in time you will be able to remember all the happy times with him. I still miss my old GSD who I lost nearly 4 years ago, and sometimes will have a little weep, but mainly I can laugh about all the things she got up to, and think how lucky I was to have owned her. Sending you loads of hugs.
 
Such a shock for you, first the accident itself and then when things seemed to be going the right way and improving, suddenly this happened. Doing the right thing for them, doesn't mean that the situation feels more right.

As MurphysMinder said, if you only allow yourself to think about the good memories and not only the less good, it will feel better with time. I can still cry over the bitches that I've lost, but I smile more than I cries. Once the first days has past, I usually remember how much they loved me and how upset they became when I or somebody else cried or was sad and then I can't help but to feel that I owe it to them to try and be more happy over my happy memories, than sad over my loss.


Lots of {{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}.

R.I.P. Blue.
 
Oh i'm so sorry - such a hard decision but you know you did the best for Blue. Big {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} for you, and it will get easier just try to remember him as the happy boy he was before :)

RIP Blue.
 
I'm so sorry to read this.
RIP Blue, sleep tight. x
Big hugs to you and yes, you absolutely 100% did the right thing for him. Take some comfort from that and the knowledge he is pain free and at peace now. I know how hard it is and how much you can end up doubting yourself but every sensible dog owner here would have done the same for him.
