Sasha the Wonderdog

My dog is so sick. She has a spontaneous closed pneumothorax that I've had treated one time, and didn't heal. Turns out that what she has is rare and hard to treat (open chest exploratory surgery is one of the tests recommended and that doesn't even get in to the treatment portion - I had a second opinion today with no good news).

I am so sorry you are faced with this horrible situation. But I am also so happy for Sasha, that her life was filled with so much love and that she found security and happiness in her relationship with you.

I am certain you WILL know, Sasha will tell you. <3

Thanks, Janaya. I was on the phone for a long time yesterday with a friend of a friend who is a vet and she was very reassuring about the fact that sometimes putting an animal down is more humane than a bunch of invasive procedures :(

I am so sorry. It sounds like you are doing everything right but I can only imagine how hard it is to make this decision. I looked at the pictures and Sasha really is a very beautiful dog and it sounds like she has been a really wonderful companion.

I am so sorry you are up against this. I have been there, as you know, and it is so, so difficult. With my kitty of 14 years, she went peacefully on her own and was not in pain. With Nina, also 14, she suffered a stroke and her body was failing her, and I knew it was time and had to take her there myself. Neither was easier than the other. My heart is going out to you and Sasha. You have both been so fulfilled by having one another. That is beautiful. I am thinking of you! ((hug))
