guilt is my shadow
Even though I felt I was doing the right thing I am now so stricken with grief and guilt thinking I should have waited. I’m someone who goes to the doctors and vets to get anything checked out with a ‘better to be safe than sorry’ attitude so with everything my dog had, we always checked it out and thankfully, it could always be fixed. While writing this I do feel a bit better. I now feel guilt because I rarely think of him but when I do I don’t stop crying. I just put my dog down he was 15 years old, almost blind and basically deaf. It’s hard getting to make such a decision for another being, but I’m certain that you acted out of love, even though money was a consideration as well. It now looks like I will need to put my next fur baby to sleep in near future she is also 14 going 15 year and the daughter to one I lost…… Just it’s raining and storming here right now and all my babies are scared of storms I feel I need to keep them all safe, maybe it’s because I just got her ashes back, and certificate says she was privately cremated on 25th but died on 12th I hope they looked after her my heart is breaking right now and the tears won’t stop. He was my walking buddy and I taught him numerous tricks(very smart) I’m having a hard time with my decision. well i now realize we made that choice from our hearts and had we decided to have the surgery then we would have spared ourselfs this pain we are in, all the while letting them continue to suffer. We love our animal companions so much and feel a huge sense of responsibility. I blamed myself because I went on vacation thinking I could take her to the vet when I got back in town. Vet finds some arthritis in hip and leg but just a sprain. I feel the same as you. She gained another 5 lbs since Monday. I brought her home that night and she slept on the bed with me, “bumping” her face against mine. My best advice is to get my Special Report package and follow the steps detailed therein. Made as mush I could in the available budget , even starving some days to drive to them in the other house and feed them, when one day money and helplessness didn’t allow me to fill fuel in my bike even to travel to them, just to find one cat dead mearly 4-5 hours ago and that too on my favorite cuddling blanket waiting for me as I had locked them up in an apartment. It broke my heart having to lie to her, to leave her. I felt it was not healthy for the rest of the family to be breathing the heavy odor of cat feces several times a day. She was a very timid girl and was always terrified to go to the vet’s office. But day three I felt more than ever that I couldn’t remember his face anymore and wasn’t feeling as much as I should, and now day four, I can’t understand it. I walked him into the vets and got him laid down on the blankets they had ready for him. The smoke takes the prayers to heaven. I tried to keep her comfortable but recently she was no longer being herself. Because finance getting tighter i started feeding other dog normal food and i took my eye off them for a minute and Bully ate his food . She became ill. I wrote this the day after, came so close to uncontrollable tears/sobbing when writing it: He had arthritis and was incontinent for more than a year. I miss her so much. He was so active that I thought it was just some little nick. I feel it’s my fault too. I had my gf call the vet and make his last appointment that day also. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make this about me but when you’re a self obsessed grieving dog lover like myself you kind of end up on the tangent. The rest of that day went in waves; I would go from losing it, to cuddling in bed watching TV to keep my mind off of it, to losing it again. I had to put down my 5 year old kitty, Munchie, down today. I lost her last Sunday and I blame myself for not doing anything. Things began to change and we still talked to him, gave him attention and had our usual routine of treats during movie time, but Ozzy would cry incessantly. He was my best friend. I felt a strong sense that the emergency had been diverted, I got them to let me take him home and all was going to be well. Reply. Especially in times of emotional distress when we need someone to help us, someone we can rely on, someone we can trust. I cried so much and felt so guilty. I told my friends that I have realized that I miss the “healthy” Delilah, but I do not miss watching her decline and suffer. I gave her pills and sub q fluids at home for some time. I just would like to move forward UT I keep seeing his sweet little face and I am thrown into the darkness yet again. What if I had just kept her a little longer; how much longer could we have been together? In the back of my mind I knew it was a bad idea, that ‘s why I even said something out loud. What if I had chose surgery and the tumor never came back? Nora, thank you for your heartfelt and honest post.
