Loss of a Dog

My lovely great auntie called me the other evening (rather late in fact) to tell me that her dog had collapsed and he couldn't move his legs. She suspected he could have had a stroke, but after checking out my A-Z of dog health, that didn't appear to be so. Turned out he had Crohns disease and the vet told her he would never have an improvement, leaving her with no real alternative than to let him be put to sleep. This is one of the hardest things dog owners ever have to do, but occasionally it's made so much easier when it's obvious that the dog is ready to die and doesn't want to fight the procedure. Thankfully this was the case with her dog and also with the last one of mine I had to let go. It's a sad time, but at least when this happens it's some kind of affirmation that the owner has done the right thing. For anyone out there who's in the throes of this kind of situation, I wish you well and assure you that you will feel better in time. Take care all. xx
