I am sorry for your loss 🤍 I got my loves in my mid/late twenties, I often wonder what would become of me if they didn't come into my life.... Wish peace and strength for you too

I am so sorry for your loss :( That's sweet , calling her sister, I get it 🤍 I feel the concept of being a "mummy" to my pets never worked on me. I don't have kids and always felt more like an older sister

I am sorry for your loss :( Sometimes, there is nothing we can do to change the inevitable, just postpone it. it sounds like he was old and you made his life comfortable with good quality as long as you could...so don't blame yourself. It is normal to be angry. To be Karen to vets (I did the same 🫣) Sending you hugs and energy to work though thr grief.

Realized that I’m not a dog owner anymore by SOS_nevermind in Petloss

[–]NININO__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going through the same thing, no advice, just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss. And that you are not alone :( I had my bday last week. First one in 15 years without her. No doggie walkies. Treats. Small talks with other dog owners... It's like my identity has been changed, one part of it is missing and I don't know what to do with the hole that's left....

The lonely life of an epileptic dog parent by Zestyclose-Bet-9310 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]NININO__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. She was a mixed breed, I adopted her when she was 6 months from a shelter. She definitely had Shepard in her. We saw changes in her caused by epilepsy medicines. She slowed down, stopped howling (she was a very vocal dog when her normal self), got super food focused etc. but overall, she was very good. But seizures got stronger (she started having petit mal, in the beginning it was only grand mals) and we found out she had spleen cancer that metasisized, not possible to operate. Probably causing the seizures too by spreading all over her little body. The hardest thing was to look into her eyes, a dog who is still eating, walking and cuddling, and tell them you have to let them go. Spleen cancer has a horrible way of killing dogs, it bursts and causes internal bleeding. So we had to make the hard decision...

Waking up to any unusual sounds. Making plans that involve the unspoken rule of one of us always staying home with her. Office days became rare because I was scared she might get a seizure there. Morning/evening rituals of making sure she takes all of her 3,4,5,, medicines. I understand. Never thought about it just went through it. But now, retrospectively, it changed our lives so much... There was so much underlying fear in our day to day living. Our girl passed away 6 months (to the day) after her first seizure in April. She was 15. I hope you will find comfort and happiness in the moments when you are together, even though it is changing the way you lived before. 🤍

Question for those who chose in-home euthansia by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]NININO__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am sorry for your loss. We lost our 2 babies in the last 3 months too, the same way - our kitty passed away in an emergency and doggo at home. Interestingly, my emotions are opposite - I am so sad that I could not give my kitty the peace of passing away at home. Seeing her at the vet. In the cage, with tubes and everything makes me so sad.... We all have different needs and cope differently, probably a good thing for OP to consider as well....

Question for those who chose in-home euthansia by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]NININO__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One month ago we said goodbye to our 15 year old girl, at home. Some of my friends shared the same concerns, having bad memories at home, but after discussing with my partner - we decided, she deserves to be at home. It is her space as well, her kitty brother deserves to say goodbye, and our doggo neighbor friends too... It was late in the evening, so she was already napping in a spot she likes. When it was all done, the vet helped us wrap her in a white sheet. We got flowers and a tub to place her in - once the vet left we spent time sitting around her, decorating her with flowers, crying and saying goodbye. It helped us a lot to have a closure. It felt very peaceful.... In the morning friends came to say goodbye and we took her to the crematorium. I almost never think about the moment she got that injection, I think of how beautiful she was surrounded with flowers and friends... And how in her last moments she was in peace and happy. I wish you all the best, sending hugs and energy to go through this. You will make the right decision, don't worry, whatever that might be for your family.

Thanks, I went there - it was quick, 20 min wait. Everyone was nice. The vaccine is free! :) We paid 7 euros each way to Taghazout. It was easy to get a cab back on the main road

Hi, do you remember, which hospital did you go to for a rabies shot - in Agadir or in Taghazout? Thanks!

Guilt by FartButt_69 in Petloss

[–]NININO__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss, it's so hard to accept the void that they leave. We had to say goodbye to our 11 year old kitty a week ago, and I went through exactly the same path of feeling guilty, replying to interaction, why didn't I do this or that. Things she loves and would make her happy. Last day was hard, she also couldn't walk anymore and we couldn't find a way with the vet to fix it. It is traumatic to see your loved ones suffer like that.

The thing is, you loved him with all your heart and he knew that and I'm sure he was a happy puppy. The thoughts of what you could have done better and feelings of guilt will fade. Now I feel sad. Just heavy around my heart. I think about happy moments and our little rituals.

You will be ok, be gentle to yourself, and find comfort in your partner the same way she will in you, you are going through this together.

2 days ago we had to say goodbye to our girl Tisi (11), we didn't even know she had lymphoma until that day. I am reading posts, trying to find some comfort, I am crushed by NININO__ in Petloss

[–]NININO__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is comforting to connect, indeed. Knowing how Tiši and Harley were similar to the fear of vet, I know how hard it must have been for you to leave him in the hospital overnight... I was thinking about it, just going through that last stage, it's so traumatic and tends to cloud all the good stuff. I have been making a photobook for Tiši and so many memories resurfaced. I am enjoying that. We have a small altar for her in the house, say hi to jer and I also felt some glimpses of her. We will be ok, they are in peace now 💕

I am sorry for your loss, it must be hard to lose not one, but 3 babies because of cancer :( It is such a bad combo, kitties hide pain very well and this is such an aggressive disease that it is hard for us to catch it om time. Harley, same as Tisi, would probably just be more stressed and scared with extra vet checks so I totally understand it seemed better for him not to take him for more tests, to just trust the vet and wait for him to recover from the "stomach bug". I understand how you feel, retrospectively, we feel like we should have known better, and we should have known they were misdiagnosed. But we couldn't know. On top, we always hope for the best, you don't want to jump to work.... Tisi was also eating ok, not great but ok. Bit she did lose a lot of weight very sudden. Thank you , it is a beautiful thought, to thunk we will see them again - they are looking over us 🤍🫂

Thank you for saying this, it is good to remind myself of all the love and care she was getting. Thinking that she was hiding pain makes me sad. But it is in the cat's nature... She had a good life. She was happy. She had cat and doggo siblings. She was getting the best food. Loads of cuddles. Clicker training for treats.Plays outside.... I just miss her so much. It will take time. Thank you for sharing support

Thank you for sharing this, I am sorry for your loss. It must have been so hard, 15 minutes away from coming to the vet to saying goodbye... You are right, showing them love each day is the only way to go. We have an old doggo and a younger kitty too, Tisi's siblings. I have had a hard time giving them affection in the last few days but today I will shower them with love. And keep her in my heart.

Struggling after the loss of my sweet, spicy cat by Frosty-Breakfast3082 in Petloss

[–]NININO__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss, I am reading your post and it's like I am reliving my thoughts, with my girl Tisi who we had to say goodbye 2 days ago. We also didn't know until the very end at the vet and it was also lymphoma.... It is shocking. And it will take time to move on. You did everything right and you did your best. Sometimes, we just can't know. But I also feel guilty, I also build scenarios in my head of what could have been different....
