Re: A bit of a low mood tonight . . .
Mups I've been there with my two cats, I'd had them for almost 20 years, the boy became ill first, found he had cancer and only had weeks to live, I was devastated to say the least!Re: A bit of a low mood tonight . . .
I know exactly how you feel Mups. My little dog is nearly 14 one vet said earlier this year he has testicular cancer, when I took him back another vet said he needed tests for Cushings, which were positive. That needs to be sorted first before he can be castrated to stop the cancer spreading. He's getting very stiff and tired and whines a lot, he can't decide whether he's hungry or wants to go outside. I'm wondering whether it's going to be too much for him to have an operation.Re: A bit of a low mood tonight . . .

I'm so sorry Mups, I know it's one of the hardest choices we have to make in this life. My Sophie is probably around 10, possibly older we don't know. Her dark muzzle has gone gray even her eyelashes. Only you know when it's time to say goodbye. But it absolutely breaks your heart.Re: A bit of a low mood tonight . . .
Mups I feel for you. I am going through exactly the same with my old girl.,I was told i needed to make a decision in January, but didn't. Glad I didn't because she perked back up. A couple of weeks ago, on the day of my Golden Wedding party she couldn't get up and was urinating uncontrollably , I thought we had reached the end. She has perked up again. It's such a roller coaster and like you feel it so difficult to know when the time is right. I have had so many animals but it always different circumstances for each. Like you I pray for a clear cut decision, to go in her sleep. Out of dozens of pets only one left me , and made her own decision to go, and passed away before the vet could come. I take the rejection of food, and that certain look in their eye as part of my guide. The hardest was an 8 year old with cancer. I wish you all the best as you travel this awful road, but remember you are not alone as its a road many of us are sharing at present, although it's still very personal to ourselves.
