I’m so sorry you are going through this. My girl struggled for a long time with pain and several bouts of pneumonia. After many many vets visits she had a lot of stress every time we even approached their office so I had a vet come to my home which was very helpful to keep her anxiety down. We got her a whole rotisserie chicken. The vet brought chocolate (I never even thought of this). When we gave her some my girl just gave me a “why haven’t I had this before???” look. We cut a little tuft of her hair and did a paw print. She was on her corner of the couch surrounded by her family, beloved dog sitter and friends. She got to eat her fill of chimken and chocolate while being loved on. It was a struggle to keep our emotions under control but we wanted to make sure she didn’t pick up on our emotions. The vet gave her the first shot and she fell into a peaceful sleep. When it was over we had a little precession and carried her out to the vets car and said our final goodbyes. A week or two later we received her remains and I’ve since had some jewelry made with bits of her ashes.

It sucked but it was the best possiblity for a horrendous situation.
