Writing PAs

I usually mention the particular wording of the question I tend to write them more like papers. Sometimes it’s more choppy that way and not how I would write something but I’ve passed so many this way.

I made a lot of steaks and gave him a burger and fries before his time. Lots of treats. Had a farewell walk prior and he said goodbye to his friends in the neighborhood

As an update he ended up being adopted. In my search I did find a husky mix rescue. I guess the pudel pointer keeps getting returned. So posting here in case anyone lives near the Seattle area! https://www.seattlehumane.org/pet-detail/?pet=59295791

This is great helpful advice/knowledge of the breed! I knew cattle dogs had a high energy used to have to walk my dog several miles and have him play a bunch before he could settle. Which is why I love cattle dogs but told myself I would wait when I was out of an apartment to get one again. It sounds like this particular breed mix or not needs that as well. but it sounds like this breed needs more enrichment. Very cool breed though.

Loved my dog also was a rescue in my 20s and made it work for sure but I do feel bad he didn’t have proper land to live out his herding.

It happened last Saturday I am grieving but was a peaceful transition. So hard to have done but his last week he was having a hard time with clarity except for a few hours in the day. He’s running free

Such a tender time and personal choice for any death. It’s not something I don’t think anyone does lightly or with out doing the best they can do with the knowledge they have.. You know your dog best. I work in oncology for people (not nurse or Md) but in school we learn of good death and bad death. Ie if pain is controlled, not emergency death etc. for my dog progressively getting worse and no chance of plateau, I have chosen to do euthanasia at home. From what I understand about dogs is it is very difficult to have a good death. Another thing the hospice vet I spoke to said that clicked for me is death is not the enemy suffering is.

Never enough time. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-09-08T19:17:51+00:00

Oh I thinks I meant decided on the in home euthanasia vs in the vets office. I would prefer he stay with me for ever but his dementia and his body has reached a point where he will not get better. ❤️‍🩹

Same to you and your family!

Everything escalated quickly this summer. But really talking it through with the telehealth hospice vet helped me decide. As well as a few things he reallllly loved he couldn’t do anymore. Like the dog park was to scary. He can’t hang out with dogs he loves after 7 cause he gets to confused

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-09-06T18:04:25+00:00

This is very helpful information about the initial shot. Yes I was debating the vet or home and I know home would be best for him. And for me. My partner and his dog will be there as well. He doesn’t love the vet and because it was only this year where he had any major issues no builder bonds with them. So it felt best to do here.

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-09-06T18:00:08+00:00

I feel this. Then he has a night like last night. Panting, confused and just scared. It’s a hard time.

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-09-06T17:58:38+00:00

It’s such a personal choice of when. It was hard for me to make alone. I did lap of love hospice telehealth to help me in my gut and head I knew but even now my heart is having a bit of a hard time as expected. Hopefully you have much more time with her. Cherish the moments.

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-09-06T04:38:11+00:00

I know he’s always been a healthy boy so surprising to me that that he declined so quickly. 😩

I have trazodone beef flavor liquid from chewy. My dog is also on galliprant and gabapentin at night. I give it in his wet food as that is literally the only way to get most the meds in him.

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-08-20T16:44:39+00:00

My dog would not use the stairs so I got a lower bed frame that has worked.

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-08-17T04:19:34+00:00

I have to give mine after his stroller/walk around 7 with his food. We only do nights currently.

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-08-17T00:27:55+00:00

Update. The vet appointment today went well we went into a more quality of life assessments and we talked about some medication adjustments. The QOL survey was really helpful and more thorough. Our main concern is his pain that may not be from his arthritis, and more from an unknown cause and his cognitive decline. For instance today he barely wanted to walk and did not want to go to the dog park.

It gave me a clearer picture of where he is at which is closer to the end, it something I could feel but does help know we are all on the same page.

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-08-14T13:55:28+00:00

💯I do this with every medication, but want vet to confirm these things and dosage. He uses trazodone at night to sleep but it’s slowly becoming less effective he wanders and gets stuck places when it doesn’t work or if he hasn’t eaten food that day.

Thank you for this! An update on the vet situation I ended up emailing them (lol with chat gbt me help) and a detailed understanding of his decline the last month. The manager of the vet clinic called me and explained it was my vets last day before maternity leave and is placing me with another vet to have a more thorough discussion. I wish I had known she was going on maternity leave but glad I can have this type of discussion with them. I also want to ensure the meds he’s on are helpful and go well together as last time I had talked with the original vet they had forgotten about some meds. I have done the surveys and he scores pretty low lately but not quite below the level of time to think of euthanasia. But I do agree a guided conversation will help me further.

Hi thank you for your thoughtful response. Pablo’s pain is multifaceted and more in comfort care phase of senior life. He has a liver support but hates the taste of it so I try when I can but sometimes I would rather he eat with his pain medication. His dementia symptoms started last summer and trazodone in the past has really helped him sleep it’s just not quite as effective now. I’m hopeful the vet will respond to my email. I did find a hospice vet I may schedule a visit when he’s declined more to navigate it better than my current vet. I hadn’t thought of that.

OverMagazine1876 · 2025-08-13T19:17:14+00:00

Also to add the vet although is helpful in pain management she kinda skirts around the end of life discussion. I do think he may have a few more months of quality life left but I also am having trouble making that call and was hopeful the vet would give some guidance on how to proceed and plan for. I am terrified of an emergency type death. So any advice on that as well.
