tragedy strikes at home
Our dane is very, very ill. She's had heart problems for 6 months now, but it looks like this is the end. She's at the PDSA, getting medication, but it's not really doing anything, she's just sleeping, and eventually her heart will give out. The vet is advising my mum to have her put down, but it is SO HARD, because bless her heart, she is fighting, she wants to live.
And it is just so heartbreaking that I am in floods of tears as I am typing this. We expectd her to pass away during Monday night, she was that desperately ill, but she is still here, and we dont know what to do. Her breathing has improved (not a great deal) but no longer gasping breaths that she has been doing for the past few days, thats the only small sign of hope. But it doesn't look like it's enough. If she makes it through tonight, and there is even the smallest sign of her getting better, we're gonna fight it, try to find a way to make her better. But there's a part of us that sort of hopes she goes naturally, that if she doesnt get better by tomorrow, we wont have to make that awful decision to end her life. We're in this state of limbo, where we're just crying and waiting for the phone to ring.
