My dog, Peppermint, passed away Dec. 9th late in the night. We thought she had gone into heat, but that night she went outside and she didn't want to come back in. She layed down on the ground and she wouldn't stand, so I had to carry her to the emergency vet. Her back legs had blood on them. We were told when she had her surgery in august that she had at most 6-12 months left.
She was in pain, and was too weak to be operated on...which would have only let her live a short while longer..and in no way living the life she knew.
I was in the room when they euthanised her. I'll never forget seeing her eyes looking at me as he began to inject her...and knowing she was already gone =\
