Was putting my sick 14-year-old dog to sleep the right decision?

Please don't beat yourself up over this! Based on what you are saying, Beaux's quality of life was poor, and you made the right choice. You put his interests ahead of yours, and that was a great gift to give him. You let him go without any further suffering, which is a very hard thing to do. Do not question your decision, it was the correct one. I'm sorry you had to make this choice, it's so hard.

I am sorry to hear of your loss, it is a very difficult time to lose a pet as even as time passes, memories are brought back by many triggers. I would also have agreed that euthanasia was a valid and kindest option given the symptoms of such severe weight loss of more than a quarter of his body weight, bleeding into the bowel and likely the chest given the pink fluid and black stool and the failure to respond adequately to steroids. Please do not feel guilty for allowing him to go with some dignity, quality of life has to be much more important than quantity for our pets and often allowing them to go is the bravest and kindest treatment we can offer in debilitating conditions

First off, I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to Murphy. Please accept my condolences for your loss. You are right that vestibular disease isn't progressive, and it sounds like to me his symptoms were getting worse over time. To be honest, I think you did the right thing for him. It sounds like he had a pretty poor quality of life, and letting him go peacefully was a very kind thing to do, even though it was hard. Do not upset yourself thinking you put him to sleep wrongly, I think you made the right decision. Be kind to yourself.

Yes, it was the right decision, without taking him to the vet he would have zero chance to survive, now at least he stands a fighting chance. he is very young so overall i would say his chances are not very good, but you never know, with the correct treatment he might perk back up and survive this.

Poor Sutry. It is never an easy decision to euthanize a loved one. From what you are telling me, it sounds like he was likely suffering from intestinal lymphoma which is a type of cancer they get in the intestines. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do for these cats. If he were my cat, I would have made the same decision. Please take comfort in knowing you made the right decision for Sutry and that he was lucky to have such an amazing family. Please know I am thinking of you all during this time.

I am so sorry hear that Bobo had this issue. I can say that any animal that is having back to back seizures (especially at that young age) was likely born with a congenital issue either in the brain or the liver/kidneys. I think you putting him to sleep was a good decision. I cannot tell you if you he could have been "saved" or managed with medications as I do not have all the details but it sounds like his condition was pretty severe. If I were you I would not be second-guessing my decision. Without having all the details I think you did the right thing. So sorry for your loss :(

I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to Molly yesterday! Please accept my condolences for your loss I think you did the right thing based on your description. She sounded pretty bad off, and you didn't want her to get worse. Again, I'm sorry.
