Had to put my Rosie down yesterday

[Tom 86]

I decided to put her down as she was breathing so hard. Took her to the vet last week got some meds & x-rays. Came home & started the antibiotics as the vet thought she had something in her lungs.

Rosie kept getting worse, so I called yesterday 2-16-22 & got an emergency Attp to check her out again. They did more X-rays & as soon as I saw them I knew it would be best to let her go as she was suffering. Her lungs were pure white, The vet said she didn't know what that was but it was not good & my request to put her down was the best.

They gave her one shot under the skin to make her relax. She got sleepy so I could still talk to her. Then they came in to put a catheter in her front leg. The vet said are you ready? I said yes. 3 minutes later she quit breathing & she said her heart stopped on the stethoscope.

So sorry, Tom; I know what it's like to lose a pet, so hard.

I'm so sorry for your loss @Tom 86 . I did the same thing with my black lab years ago. It broke my heart but I didn't want him to suffer.

Rosie was beautiful. May she rest in peace.

Sorry for your loss. Just had to make that decision for my 15 yr old dog recently. So hard.

@Tom 86 I'm so very sorry. Losing our furry friends is a hard thing to bear

Rosie was only 11 years old. Part Beagle & part terrier. I had her since she was 6 months old. Got her from the no-kill pound.

Very sorry about this Tom.....don

 

[Pinky]

Your last act of love for Rosie, was to let her go. It's the hardest and kindest thing to do.


I know you will miss your sweet Rosie forever, but I hope you find comfort in knowing she is no longer
in pain and discomfort.

Sorry for you, losing a good dog is always hard.

You did the right thing, ended her suffering without much shortening of her life. In fact without you it likely would have been much shorter and less happy.

Too bad people can't show that same kindness to us when the time comes...

 

[RadishRose]

Oh I am so sorry!

 

[Ronni]

Ah man that’s rough. You did the right thing….the hardest thing, but the kindest thing you could do for her under the circumstances.

I’m really sorry.

 

[Ruthanne]

I'm so sorry Tom. That's got to be a very difficult thing to go through.RIP Rosie.

@Tom 86 , so sorry for your loss. Rosie is free from pain now and in a better place.

 

[Kika]

I am so sorry. I have had to make that decision several times, so I know how it is.
Take comfort in knowing you did the best for her. You had no other choice.

 

[Kaila]

So very sorry and sad, for your heartache, Tom.

Your Rosie was such a dear one. What a good friend and family, she for you, and you for her.

 

[Lara]

Rosie was a beautiful dog, Tom.
But you did the right thing. I know how hard it is.
Stay strong and keep busy. That might help you.

 

[AnnieA]

So very sorry, Tom.

Just did the same about 2 months ago. It leaves quite a hole. We are trying out anther dog now, and some things have to be worked through. This was on my mind but this gives me solace with I think of it's truth.
