Took my senior pup of 16 here as he hasn’t been feeling well. ( stopped eating his regular food 5 days prior, we’d make him chicken but he’d only eat bits & threw it up shortly after. ) I explained that to the receptionist, whom was really understanding. I asked about possible euthanizing because my intuition told me he was giving out, and his life was comming to an end. I’ve spent every second I’ve had the last 16.5 years with my boy, he lived a good life and I felt selfish keeping him going & letting him suffer longer then he has to.
We arrive and we’re seen by a nurse, I explained to her what was going on and my gut is telling me my baby is tired & ready to let go. She took him to the back to “ examine “ him. Came back to let me know that he ate a piece of chicken that she fed him and he seems “ okay “ I said I completely understand he ate the chicken but also explained he WILL throw it back up & hasn’t been keeping his food down. She then proceeded to bring out a piece of chicken to feed him IN MY FACE as if I’m saying I didn’t believe her. She then proceeds to say “ I’m not saying your lying but he’s eating the food im giving him just fine “ at this point I’m baffled by my whole overall interaction with this “ nurse “.
I kept explaining I believe it’s time, you can physically see it in his weight & his day to day actions the last 7 days. She proceeded to tell me they can’t put down a dog without doing blood tests etc. which totaled out to $1200. But she insisted he’s fine and to maybe try their brand of chicken. ( lol ). I said “ okay “
She sent me home with hope that my boy would be fine. With the hope that I still have time with him. I bought a can of their chicken, and went home. I would also just like to note that; my whole interaction with her was very uneasy, she even made a comment “ can’t believe I’m here this late ughh! “
He threw up his food the next morning as usual, along with bloody stool. My baby boy passed the following night after my visit. I’m so sorry mommy let you suffer longer then you had to sweet boy.
If your intuition is telling you, your fur baby is ready to let go PLEASE refer to Berkeley Dog & Cats hospital where they will respect your decision.
