R.I.P. my best friend love your mommy xoxo
I am so sorry for your loss. So heartbreaking. I would feel the same way if mine died that way too. You made the best decision you could at that time. Don't beat yourself up too much over your decision. She knew you loved her and gave her the best years of her short life.

I am going through the same thing just now with my dog Claret he is a 9 year old sheltie, a few months ago he had diahorrea and took him to the vet he prescribed pills but they made him very sick and did not cure the diahorra so phoned vet told me to persivere but icouldnt see him suffering. then few weeks ago he seemed to go off his food and was very lethalgic so took him to vet again they said he had an abcess on a tooth but would do a blood test i felt so relieved to think it was the abcess but vet phoned me in the afternoon to say he had kidney failure so i asked them to do all they could so they put him on a drip and started treatrment, They kept him in for 2 days then i got him home yesterday till Monday to see if treatment is working and kidneys beginning to function. He has been so lethalgic since i got him home and at one point seemed to take a fit for few minutes then settled down to sleep but he seems so confused and will not eat so i am trying to force feed him a little but will have to wait till tomorrow to get results of blood test butt i know how you feel i am devistated he is a P A T(pet as therapy) dog and all the residents in care home love him i just want to do the bet for him but dont want him to suffer and waste away i just dont know what i will do tomorrow if they say the Kidneys are not working any better on treatment. He is a poor soul and is loved so much like your dog was
I'm so very sorry! I just lost my 7 yr old dog just about as suddenly as you on Thurs., Feb. 28th, except, I was there with him till the end. I started my thread here yesterday. My vet gave me suggestions of what he could do & it was up to me to let him know to do it or not though. $533.13 worth of vet bills still couldn't save him, so I can only imagine how much you paid!
The main pain is that I saw him daily for the last 7 years & all of sudden, I don't see him anymore & knowing I never will again is very, very sad! I hope y ou had take tons of pictures as I did.
thank you all so much he has just had another wee fit but just cuddled him and kept him calm and he is sleeping now i just dont know what to do but will take him back to vet at 8am tomorrow where they will put him on drip again and do blood tests please be good news but please dont let him suffer i am praying for him please please give him a wee chance

yes i have so many pictures of him from a pup of 7 weeks i have three Sheltie and love them all so much but he was wee bit special as he had two new hips before he was i year but has had great life for 9 years and as i said he is a PETS AS THERAPY dog and loved to visit the old folk and they loved him too as he was so easy going, affectionate and loved everyone dogs too he would stop any dog in the street just to sniff hello to oh please please make him better and have a decent quality of life not to go this way Like you i wouldnt care how much it cost as long as they could stabllise him and lead a nice quiet old age
The seizures mean his liver is so bad that toxins have built up in his blood. Now his brain is affected by the toxins. He is in end-stage liver failure. I had a cat with the exact same thing and I chose to end his suffering immediately.
