Had to put down my Lab
Not having a good day.
Our 11 year old female black Lab "Kimber" had to be put down. Kimber had become Diabetic this past summer. We had to give her two shots a day, and keep her on a strict diet. A few months ago she became blind, and that became an issue also, but we were dealing with it. This morning she could barely come out of her kennel, and could not walk without assistance. She didn't want to eat, and that along with all the other problems caused me to rush her to the Vet. The Vet just called & told us that she has a tumor on her spleen, that was causing her to bleed internally. The Vet said she didn't think she could survive surgery, so we were left with the only option of having her put down. In my opinion there was no sweeter & loving animal. She will be missed and there is a whole now that needs to be patched...

Very sad to hear. My little 11 year old Sparky was healthy as a horse, acted like he was 3 years old. He got a tumor on his spleen and he was dead in a week. 0 -
I always struggle at the end worried that instead of trying to make them comfortable and give them more time in their home with their family I am instead being selfish and prolonging their suffering because I am so emotionally attached...
And that moment where they cannot live up to the rules and standards they were raised with - that look of shame when their body has failed bit in their mind they have failed you...
Hang in there brother - we understand.

Sorry to hear, Trinity.
We went through it a couple of months ago with a companion of 13 years. The sadness goes away soon and you are left with the positive memories.
