I'm at my parents house. My dog is so sick. He is choking on his food because the cancer has spread to his throat.
I always said that people were so selfish to keep suffering pets alive because they were too sad to see them go, but now that we are in that situation, it's just so hard.
I'm a complete wreck. After tomorrow, I will never see him again. I am losing it.
Here is the post I'm talking about... Basically it's about a dog I've had for more than half my life and I just can't say goodbye.
Re: Having such a hard time
Awwwwww, I am so sorry =(
I am so sorry to hear. DH and I were in the same situation as you are. Our dog (who we treated like our child) had cancer too and it also was obstructing his esophagus and airway. The day I knew we had to put him to sleep I had to do the Heimlich maneuver on him b/c he was choking on his food. He looked at me in distress. I knew it was time. It was sad b/c he was still full of life. He still wanted to play, he wanted to eat but he was having more and more difficulty breathing and eating.It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.
I still miss him a lot but it has gotten easier. He has been gone for almost 8 months but it seems a lot longer. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
