Wilbur’s cancer journey.

I was at the Vet today... Looks like I'll have to say goodbye soon... I am heartbroken

Oh my goodness I am so so sorry to hear that. I’m here if you need to talk

What happened?

What happened?

Well he is still alive-don't worry. But I will have to say farewell to him I don't know, the Vet's don't know.

 

[Silkie Princess]

He is very frail. There is no way out. We are probably going to euthanize him tomorrow

What happened to the poor guy?

What happened to the poor guy?

A lot of things... First kidney failure then suspected leukemia then... I don't really remember. It’s really hard for me. We tried but I am certain not letting him suffer is the right thing to do...

It is… you are very responsible. He will respect you making this choice.

We dog people usually know when the time to euthanize will be coming soon, but it's still hard to know exactly the right time to say goodbye, because they have good days and bad days. Sometimes we are sure, other times we have to guess, is he still enjoying life? If there are many more days when he's in pain than happy days, it's time to give him one last really happy day - take him to his favorite place, as many of his favorite treats as he wants - then say goodbye and make it as quiet and painless as possible.

He had more bad days than good days. He is in pain. He can't walk properly He won't eat a lot of things.
