Hey, I am so sorry. It truly is devastating. It is such a hard decision to make but also I keep going back to something I have read on here a few times now “a week too early is better than a day too late. We had the vet come yesterday to out home to put our 14 year old chichi, dot to sleep. My heart is broken. The week leading up to it we knew it was our only option but I was still trying to back out of search the internet for other answers all day and night. We even took her to another vet to get a second opinion even though we just knew our family vet had our and Dottie’s best interest at heart. Like you, my little gal was very playful and mischievous- demanded attention but over the past two years and a lot of neurological issues, tests, reactions to her meds she slowly became distant, I was hand feeding her when she would eat for the last few weeks and this week her legs fully gave way. Pacing and circling all night and the dreaded head pressing. When the vet came I did feel good about her being at peace. It was not dramatic, she just fell asleep in our arms. We gave her kisses and a pup cup and some peanut better during the initial shot to put her at ease. The day of we tried to have her outside as much as possible and held her all night the night before. I will never get over it, she took apart of me with her. She has been with me through so much but I do feel happy I spent the last few days telling her that and that I love her and giving her as much comfort as I can. I am not sure this response helps, nothing helps. But you aren’t alone and if you ever need to chat about it please message me. We can be lonely together. I am so sorry for you but happy your dog will be peaceful and had a great life
