    I held my Boxer while the vet put him down. Just slipped a needle into his leg - squirt - he was gone straightaway. It broke my heart. I cried my eyes out.

  • Storms Girl, I really feel for you right now. It is the worst job in the world to let your beloved pet go even when you know you are doing the right thing. My last time was last year when my darling cat who was 19 took her final journey to the vet. I have to say that my vet was absolutely wonderful, she gave her a sedative first so that we could have a few minutes of cuddles and it really made such a difference to previous visits. I would recommend this if possible. I cried almost non stop for a week and still sometimes now but it does get easier. Please come back and let us know how you are.

    Thinking of you.

    I'm so sorry. Its the kindest thing you can do for you boy, even though it hurts like hell at the time of making such a brave decision. I cant imagine how your feeling right now, take care, and give your boy a gentle hug from me.

    its awful isnt it losing a pet, i think i am only a few weeks maybe days behind you in putting our rottie to sleep. he is 11 and his back end has gone, he can`t stand straight to even have a wee and has totally gone off his dog food, he is surviving on titbits of chicken when and if we can get him to eat and has lost so much weight. its heartbreaking to see once healthy bouncing energetic pet with no glimmer of interest in their eyes in food or anything...all he wants to do is sleep bless him. what do you do though :confused: what can you do but the best thing for your pet. my thoughts will be with you later on although upsetting you are doing the right thing...angchris xx
    proper prior planning prevents !!!!!! poor performance! :p

    I'm a cat person, but my heart goes out to you today. Nothing I can say can take the pain away but you know it is the last loving thing you can do for Storm.Be brave for your beautiful big boy, let your tears flow and let him live on on your heart. Be strong

    just stay with him and talk to him and uddle him, your doing the right thing storm girl, would your vet consider coming to you instead you can ask them to.
