Ditto. 14 YO Golden. Has GOLPP (Geriatric Onset Laryngeal Paralysis and Polyneuropathy). Starting to really have difficulty walking. I am absolutely dreading the decision I am going to have to make.
My Son-in-Law is a Vet Tech, and one time he was working with a dog who was dying from cancer. The pet’s death was imminent, and all they could do for him was give him pain meds to ease the passing.
The owner picked up his old friend, and tearfully said to my Son-in-Law, “Guess I’ll bring him home, sit him down in his favorite spot, and give him his last hamburger.”
After the owner left, Son-in-Law had to excuse himself from the pet hospital and step outside with tears in his eyes.
The decision has already been made. It’s time to let him go in peace and limit the time he suffers.
