Cozy Is Dying, I must have my dog put to sleep Options

[Doximom]

I am very touched by the stories and sensitive responses on the site. My miniature doxie, Cozy, lies in her bed beside me now. The only thing that remains a constant with her now is here desire to stay close by me. Her poor tummy is swollen due to complications of congestive heart failure. Last night's trip to the vet was hopeful in that the vet increased the diuretics to the most advisable and I thought she could rally. She refuses almost all food now and I only managed to get her pills down with some deli meat. Over the last few days she would eat something for awhile and then refuse it. I cannot let her go on like this but my heart is breaking over what I must do. I have been a widow for ten years and my two little dogs have seen me through some bad times. They are my only housemates and I love them so dearly. Please say a prayer that I can have the strength to do what I have to do. Thank you for hearing me out, Cozy's mom.

Hi, Doximom, please permit me to offer you my sincerest sympathies in your Anticipatory Grief for your precious Cozy. Making the decision to ease our companion's journey home to the angels is never an easy one - - it is very similar to stopping life support for a human family member or friend.

I do so empathize with you, Doximom - - it is very heartbreaking to know that our companions are in their final days, hours of their earthly journey with us - - it gives us a very helpless feeling to realize that there is nothing else we can do for them but to ease their transition journey from their failing, frail physical body.

Making the decision on behalf of your precious Cozy who valiantly and lovingly dedicates her heart and life to you is the last gift of love you can give to her at great sacrifice to yourself - - it is one of the most unselfish acts of love we can give our companions when the quality of their life no longer exists.

One of the many things you need to remember is that you are not alone, Doximom. Each of us here do understand what you are going through, and we are here for you for as long and as often as you need us. Please know you and your precious Cozy are in my thoughts and prayers, Doximom, and please let us know how things go, and how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
