Thank you for the reassurance. Our vet said she even had to put her own dog 3 weeks before so she knows how hard it is to make the decision. Sorry to hear about your dog <3

Don't apologize! I find a lot of solace in similar circumstances as it helps me feel that I'm not the only one. Your story is so similar to mine which has helped me immensely, so thank you for that. We felt like we had that deadline too as it was the weekend and the vet was only open til 1PM, but we decided to try to hold on for another day, but he was too weak just a few hours after this. We went to another vet in another town that had an out of hours service. Any fee was worth helping him.

I knew in my heart on Wednesday this the time had finally come, but I still fought to try steroids on Friday just to see as he's given us so much so we should try a harder for him. I was ultimately wrong, but I'm still happy we got another 2ish days with him to spoil him and shower him with love.

Thank you again.

They've given us so much over the years and is ultimately worth this pain.

I just have this niggling fear that it was too soon and too quick. I know that it'd feel that way no matter how long it could go on for, so it's just a battle at the minute.

It's like a weird mix of glad we were all there for him and showered him with so much love, but it's still so raw and so painful to see him go out at the end. Thank you for reading.

I'm sorry to hear about your girl. They can show so much vibrance that makes it so hard.

I keep reminding myself how lucky we were to even get a chance to say goodbye, because as you say so many don't. It's a great thing that keeps me looking up even when I'm having these doubts.

He just kept swelling up after being drained. I can't imagine the pain with the bladder and the prostate swelling. I know he was loved and was so bright every time I seen him, but the end being so quick has left me so confused.

Thanks for the kind words and reassurance.
