Rascal may not make it through the night

[starmom]

Oh Lena~~ I'm really sorry you're hurting.
{{{{hugs for you}}}}

I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers. It really does mean a lot to me. Thank you so very much.

I took Rascal to vet #4 late this afternoon, and once again was turned away. They said they just did not see the need to put him down.

I brought my baby back home and laid him in his bed. I laid there with him until he gasped his last breath, stroking him gently telling him it was OK to go and how much I loved him.

He is in a better place now feeling no pain. The whole family is devastated by this terrible loss. Now the healing process can begin.

Again, thank you all

I'm so sorry about your puppy.. I know he had a great life with you! Feel better ok? Nothing can hurt him now.

[WickedBalls]

Sorry for your family's loss.

Sorry to hear that Lena, at least his suffering is done. I am with you on the fact that if he isn't eating or drinking he is suffering.

[waltah!]

My thoughts go out to you and your family You did everything you could for him, and he was lucky to have you.

Ok, let's see if I can post clearly through tears...

First off, I am SO sorry to hear of the loss and the struggle you had to go through, Lena dear. That's really hard, watching a beloved animal fading away like that. Tons of *HUGS* and comfort to you, dear.

Second, that was terribly unprofessional of those vets!! Regardless of whether the animal is 'in pain' or not...the OWNER counts for something! True, maybe he was just slipping away in their eyes, but the fact that it was hurting you to have to watch should have been reason enough to listen to your request and put him to sleep gently.

Your story reminded me of the worst loss I've ever had to face: The loss of my Ophelia. She was more than just a cat...she was my soul mate, my dearest and closest companion. When she was just 3, she contracted a pretty much incurable stomach disease and had to be put to sleep.
I've lost other pets before, it happens when you keep animals your whole life, but no other creature's loss ever affected me like that... I still cry to this day just thinking about her and how much I miss her.





Take comfort, my friend, in knowing that Rascal is free and eternally a pup. Never forget the good times you had with Rascal. He will live on in your mind and heart for always.

How sad. I'm very sorry for your loss. This makes my heart hurt.
