As the title says, I put Bobber down today
It was her time and I am truely confident in that.
I do think she was starting to get really uncomforetable and she didn't need to deal with it anymore. Her breathing at times would get sorta bad, not panting, but last night she started breathing so deep she was using the front part of her chest. When I tried to give her her meds Wed night, she did pant bc it got too intense for her. I did not give her her meds last night or this morning since I knew she was going to be put down, she didn't need to be messed with. I would have given them to her if I felt she needed them, but she was acting the same as she had when she was on them.
We did do another blood check before I put her down, some of the numbers got better but some got worse, a bit worse. I do think she had some fight left in her, I think she would have faught it til the second she passed, if she would have gone on her own, she was one of those very strong determined fighters, but she didn't need to suffer through all the extra rough things that were to come. I am ok with this, I feel relieved knowing she isn't in pain. It was scheduled for 5 today but I brought her in early bc she didn't need to continue going through what she was going through.
I just really want you all to know that I know it was her time, she wouldn't have made it through this. I know deep down in my heart that is true and the vets agreed. I was hanging on to any hope that was there, but reality hit me and I knew, it was her time.
Thanks everyone soooo much! We really appreciate your help and kindness!!!
