Re: How to know it's the end?
Update...
The vet gave him aquapuncture (b12 shots in acupuncture points) and started a pharmaceutical med. adjusted his supplements to a stronger dose and suggested a new walking harness to stabilize his hips. We can choose do aquapuncture every 4-6 weeks for pretty inexpensive for $20 ---- cheap!!! Sorry if I got carried away or dramatic. Watching our beloved pup get old has been really hard and honestly this thread has been good because truthfully it's not going to be extremely long at his age Thank you all

Re: How to know it's the end?
The vet believes Xander had a stroke today. The vet said He should recover in 24-48 hrs and he's improving by the hour but we may have a big decision to make this week.
It's been Very difficult already. A roller coaster because the aquapuncture and new meds have made him almost frisky again.

Re: How to know it's the end?
Praying. My 19 yo cat had a stroke last year and was fine by the next day. I think a lot depends on the severity.

Re: How to know it's the end?
He's not improving a lot anymore. It's just wait and see now! He was drinking and eating by himself but it's so hard. We don't want him to suffer

Re: How to know it's the end?
I was waiting to connect w Lisa to update --- then I tried and just couldn't speak of it..today will be the day we say goodbye
He took a horrible turn for the worse and every few hours there is another decline. The only option was a neurologist. he's obviously given up. I prayed for confirmation that we were doing the right thing. This morning he had wedged himself in the corner so dh and I tried to shift him around so he wasn't so horribly uncomfortable. We realized we cannot even get him out of the house so I will be calling to find someone to Come to him as soon as DH can get off work. I'm expecting the kids to be very upset. Especially ds and I wanted it not to happen here but truthfully many spots in the house are "Xander's" spots. Only our eldest has memories before we got him and she was only 4 so they are extremely vague. When I told DH, Xander's corner is already going o be difficult to see , especially after the last 48 hrs, he agreed I should call someone in. My face is puffy, my eyes are swollen and I have been crying for at least 30 of 48 hrs. I keep trying to do everything I can to keep him comfy and there is nothing I can do. And now he cannot leave the house so we must shift him to ensure he's not in a puddle of urine. So many heartbreaking moments. I have been having to hand feed him food and water because we don't want him dehydrated and adding to his pain. Dd1 got him to drink from the bowl and she insisted it might get better. Ds wailing and processing aloud abt all the things he's not sure he can do again. Dd2 trying to understand over and over asking the same questions. I'm especially grateful for this thread now. I have read it over and over and over. It's become a bit of a memorial for me already. It's taken me hours to get the courage to post this as I didn't sleep last night!

I haven't posted before because we are in the same situation at our household right now with a beloved pet. (We have been through this several times in the past and it is so painful.)
I saw that today is the day, so I wanted to give you a virtual hug and pray that God will comfort your family and your pet. |

My gut said now while my heart cried no. He is gone
Xander 5/2004 to 1/25/2017 Went peacefully surrounded his 5 people Gifted peace by the vet he loved. We didn't trust the home vet so took him to our amazing vet he loves. It was difficult to get him there but so glad we took him to someone we trust. Once the vet came in he visibly calmed. They treated us extremely well. He was put in their Japanese acupuncture room.

oh Jodi (((hugs)))
I know I was so grateful for the love and care from our beloved vet's office when Nessie left us. We wrapped her in her blanket, and hugged and cried. Its so hard. |
