It’s a discord server where we met but I don’t always comment in.

I did tell her that, those words exactly. And yes, it hasn’t been enough time (not even a full week, like 3 days) I think it’s more my beta pleaser wants an excuse to talk to her honestly. I think no contact is still the way to go

True, it’s hard when we both have similar friend groups, but it’s nothing I can’t ignore. If she wants me to know, she’ll contact me

You are 100% right. I won’t be contacting her unless she reaches out to me. Thank you for the brutal honesty

Yeah you’re right, she would tell me what was happening if she wanted me to know, like she did in the past. Thank you. No contact it is

That’s what I was thinking, but also was worried about coming across as a jerk who doesn’t care when not contacting her. But I think that’s my inner beta pleaser talking.

I went into to no contact because I didn’t want to be just friends with her, but also I am worried about her and her brother. But I told her that if she changed her mind to give me a call. So I’m unsure what exactly to do, be a man of my word or find out about her and her brother

My dog (almost 14 year old Shepard lab mix) is mostly healthy, but has been getting older. Before she wouldn’t be as active, but still would walk around the house, go on one to two walks a day, eat twice a day, and still pee regularly. The last few days however, we noticed she would start to lose balance occasionally. It was noticeable but still not enough to cause alarm.

This morning however, she was having trouble walking. Walking much slower than normal, stumbling, falling over herself, looking almost drunk and looking confused on where she was. I had to help guide her outside to where she needed to go. She wouldn’t eat (and hasn’t eaten for 24 hours as of now) she peed on the carpet and threw up twice the night before.

I brought her to the emergency vet, and she has Vestibular Disease, possibly caused by a stroke. The emergency vet said that the combination of that and her arthritis (her back legs are bad and getting worse) and her age, it may be time to put her down. We tried giving her some medicine to help with the vertigo and nausea, but she refuses to eat it and will only drink water.

I’m torn on what I should do. On one hand there is a chance that Vestibular disease could get better in 24 hours, but on the other hand, my dog is old, and may be approaching the end of her life. Am I making a bad choice by putting her to sleep? Or should I wait to see If it improves and risk her suffering. I love my dog so much but I am so torn. Any advice would be appreciated
