I lost my love yesterday...
Ginger was 11 years old and she passed away from renal failure, she was diagnosed around 6 weeks ago so we started giving her IV fluids, anti-nausea shots & even a special powdered medicine to go in her food. She reacted very well to the treatments & was doing great up until last week. It was weird she started sitting on the bathroom counter all the time, wouldn't move for anything but to drink water so I took her to the vet & they believed the treatments weren't helping her so I decided to take her home & discuss with my s/o what day we would put her to rest. Well, in a matter of one day, she took a turn for the worst & seemed pretty delirious walking back & forth to different water bowls only to rest her head on the edge of the bowl. She wouldn't look up & walked with very little balance & energy. I knew it was time so yesterday we brought her in & did what was best for her.
I am consumed with grief, she was my baby, I don't have kids, she was my kid. She has been through everything with me in the past 11yrs. I know they say it takes time & I'm glad she's not suffering but I am miserable.
