Divorce can be very difficult. Sometimes it becomes unnecessary. Feeling powerless when your friend is going and you can't help him can be incredibly difficult. Despite the fact that you do your best by spending strength and money on the best veterinarians, the diagnosis is heard as a sentence. You have to collect the will in a fist, hold the tears and prepare for the worst.
Many of us have already passed through it. Life is life, and, unfortunately, it can break at any time. But we have the power to support our pet, make it comfortable and, if possible, alleviate suffering. Perhaps the question arises: does the author support euthanasia (sprinkling)? No, this time the author does not campaign for it. It is an extremely sensitive issue, and is solved by the owners, depending on the situation, the degree of suffering of the animal and the prospects of its treatment. Sometimes the sprinkling can be the only reasonable way out.
But not always, dear friends! The author emphasizes this: there are many cases where veterinarians have made terrible diagnoses by accident, based on their own experience or intuition. Words to describe such situations are difficult to choose.
Deadly injection is simple. Two minutes, and everything is over. But the human factor is always on the road. Even the best experts can be wrong. And to correct this mistake will not work. Therefore, when you get a deadly diagnosis, do not rush to make a difficult decision. Contact other doctors, get additional thoughts. Such cases are - where the malignant tumor is benign, and the hopeless situation can change for the better. The main advice - do not give up, fight to the end. Leave the injection as a extreme measure.
But if the sad diagnosis is confirmed when to expect the worst? Watch your animal, fix any regression. Usually dying dogs lose interest in everything: games, communication, walks. You see that they are becoming removed, one paw is already in another world. The animal can give up food and water, urinate and empty immediately, losing control of the settlement. Sometimes there is a heavy breathing, a "dying" look, whims and other unusual sounds.
Those who can still move can go aimlessly, visit all the rooms. They can try to say goodbye to every family member. Breathing becomes fast and superficial, the heartbeat slows. Some dogs may try to get up but fall. Lethargy is possible. And another important point: conscious animals are desperately looking for support from their owners.
Often, pets spend their last days in the family. To provide maximum comfort, you should put a soft deck and warm blanket, as well as choose a quiet and separate place in the house. It is important to have a short conversation with young children who may not understand the essence of the situation and bother the animal. If the dog refuses to eat or drink, you should not insist, just leave the bowls nearby. Approach a dying pet, communicate with him, stroke him, say the words of support and caress.
We understand that it is psychologically very difficult, but it is important to keep your pain. Tears should be given freedom when everything is over. Animals feel the emotions of their masters, so it is important to avoid additional stress for them. When the pet begins to urinate under himself, put the suction diapers nearby. In addition, consult with a veterinarian about possible palliative treatment and painkillers. All these decisions are difficult, and each owner decides them on their own.
