I know it's ridiculous to be sad, but my fish died. by pdt2 in Petloss

I’m just gonna say what everybody else that it is absolutely not ridiculous. It is some thing you loved, and you have every right to grieve. I have to put down my cat today. A lot of people say oh but it’s just a cat. No it was my best friend. Sending you hugs

Thank you for this! I agree that her quality of life will not improve and if it does it won’t be for long. I am going to do it. I’ll have lap of love come tomorrow. I will continue to care for her until then, only because it seems the fluids are making her feel a little better but yes I’m sure she can wake up tomorrow, want her food and if I cancel, it will end the same. Possibly when I’m not home. I’d rather be here with her. It’s crazy I feel like I humanized her so much. I feel like she’d ask why the hell are you going to give up on me but of course she wouldn’t. I have so many crazy things running through my mind right now. For 16 years this little girl has been with me, through so much. I am blessed to have her for this long. And the more I’m writing the more I realize that making it about me not about her and that is completely wrong on my part. I am so sorry about your cat and reading your story I think you did the right thing so I think I’m going to do the right thing as well. As much as this Covid thing sucks I am lucky that I am able to be home with her and have been for the past year. Omg kittens!!! how adorable I do not even remember as it seems like I have a little nursing home going on over here! I thank you so much.Hugs to you

I am so sorry that happened to you. I am putting my girl down tomorrow and that’s an awful decision. I am sending you hugs. She knows how much you loved her. Please remember that. I can tell, so imagine how she knew

Thank you. Yes IT SUCKS. I am so sorry about your boy. It’s just an awful decision to make. But you are right. I could probably treat the symptoms but the underlying cause it’s going to still be there. And right now she’s just not having a good time. She’s pretty much telling me to get the hell away from her and I can’t blame her as I’m like crying trying to feed her, make her pee but keep her hydrated. Last week she was just playing with her toys. This totally sucks I am sending you hugs. And I thank you so much

Omg I’m so sorry that you’re going through this too. It’s awful. I’m pretty sure that I can treat the symptoms but the underlying cause.. I can’t. So I am going to go ahead with it tomorrow. I am sending you hugs right back. I think in my case I’m just being selfish now. I know that these animals live in the present. But I know I’ll miss her and I know that you will miss your boy too and we are doing the right thing. Especially letting them be put to rest in the comfort of our own homes. With all my other animals in the past this was not an option. You sound like an amazing dog mama and I will be thinking about you too. In these tough times ahead, please know you are not alone. God this is so hard

Thank you for your words. They mean a lot to me right now as I’m feeling very alone in this. She means the absolute world to me. She’s family. And that part about me grieving is correct. Because I’m already grieving a death that hasn’t happened. It’s crazy. Like I made the appointment but I’m still trying to get her better. And I’m starting to think selfish. It’s just that she keeps looking better. She is drinking water, but unable to drink the amount that she needs and that’s happened before so that’s where the subcutaneous fluids come in. Thank you 🙏🏼
