Depressed about something that's not even gone yet?

Try to get your boyfriend or girlfriend or just a friend to come over. Having people around can be really comforting. Know that even though he might be gone soon that he wont be suffering anymore. That he will be at peace. Try not to be sad, because he wont be in pain anymore and even though he is an animal he probally wouldnt want you to be upset.

Hope everything gets better

Awww I’m really sorry to hear that. =[ Its okay to cry… but just think… stay strong… for your dog… let him live in happiness for the next while… its obvious that you love him a lot and that you have a really close bond… and I’m positive that he doesn’t want to see you hurting or upset… just like you don’t want to see him upset.

Lots of extra cuddles, he knows that you love him =] and he will pass away a happy, loved dog.. and you won’t ever forget him.

He will be at peace…and he will be up in heaven waiting for you, you’ll see him again so don’t worry. It will be difficult… but don’t bottle things up… that will do no good, talk to someone about how you’re feeling. Feel free to funmail me if you ever need a talk… but don’t feel like you need to =].

Best wishes,

sorry to hear about your feelings, I work at a vet hospital and deal with this atleast once a week, What you need to remember is that the dog is suffering and the sooner he/she can be left go, all that suffering will end, I had to choose to put My 13yr old Rottie to sleep in January, she was falling down, not eating and very painful. The drugs just did not work anymore, She went peacefully. I still wonder what she would be like today if I had not put her down, and I could not have lived with myself if I allowed this dog to suffer any longer, She slept 24/7 and no more Quality of life left. There is a proper time to let go, I know it hurts but try not to be selfish, Do what is best for the dog, and if you can get the dog some meds for comfort till you are ready to let the dog go, then call your vet and see if they will prescribe something.

Yeah… What Jess said. I can offer lots of advice. All you need to do is ask questions and keep talking ;) Remember, stay strong and be there for your dog while he is still here. Make sure you let him know you love him before he departs and it’s OKAY to cry. Grieve, cry, do it all. IT’S OKAY. Crying actually feels better. You can funmail me anytime you want :)

You could make a grave to remember him in your back yard but remember he will always be in your heart!

He does have medication but when we started giving it to him all he did was throw up blood so we just decided that it’s not worth it giving it his meds.

Aww :’( It doesn’t get easier when they’re gone, but you learn to deal with it, I suppose…I’ve had plenty of experience. Hope you’ll be okay.

You are going thru what many of us have gone thru, or are going thru ourselves now. Knowing that your days with a beloved pet, are numbered. DO spend extra time with her…talk to her, just the way you would a person…tell her how you feel, that you are scared, that you will miss her. She will appreciate the warmth and love coming from your voice…YOU will benefit by verbalizing exactly how feel.

The hardest part of having this fur bubs that we love so much, is that we out live them…I believe that when we take a pup into our lives we do so with the understanding that there will come a time when we must help them out of their pain and misery…it is not an easy thing to do, but it is OUR responsibiltiy (no different than caring for them in their early lives).

Hugs to you…you are not alone…
