I think my dog is dying and my heart is breaking. A few months ago he was diagnosed with a brain tumor that we treated with radiation therapy. The doctors said that his prognosis was likely 12-18 more months of good quality life. It’s now 7 weeks later, and all of his symptoms have returned. He’s having trouble walking, his head is constantly tilted to the side, and he’s afraid of the stairs.
I knew that we weren’t going to have as much time with him as we’d hoped when we adopted him last year, but I can’t believe that we didn’t even have two more months with him where he could enjoy being symptom-free and being a normal dog. I wanted to take him on another road trip, another camping trip. I wanted so much more time with him.
I love him so much and there’s nothing I can do to help him. I think we’re going to have to put him down soon and it’s killing me, even though I know that if his quality of life is deteriorating, it’s what’s best. This whole last year has been horrible, and I thought that a seemingly successful treatment for his cancer might be the start of it turning around. But it wasn’t. It hurts me so much to see him scared and confused because suddenly his body doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. He doesn’t understand why this is happening.
I don’t know where else to go with this. If you have the time to think good thoughts, pray, whatever it is that you do, I would really appreciate it.

ReplyI don’t know what to say to make it a good sentence.
I just want to say that I hope he’ll remembers your warm welcoming heart that you’ve opened to him.
He would appreciate it if you give him a warm goodbye just like when opened your heart to him.
