We have lost 3 dogs over the years. Our first Husky Buck lived to 17, I when it was time it felt like he told us it was time. Our second was our Malamute Talon who we lost at 12, he went down hill quickly. We decided it was time. But the next day he was back to himself, running around on the walk . The next day he couldn't get up and we had to let him go. We call, when a dog recovers like that a Last Hurrah. Buck our husky went down hill and we thought it was time but he came around and had another good 6 months. Our last was our Husky Shaer who we lost at 19 yes 19 years of age. Huskies normal life expectancy is 11 to 13 years. She was struggling but the drugs the vet kept her happy for the last year. And helped her get back some normality and she got back to long walks up to 6 miles and running around at times. She started going down hill and on Christmas eve we took her to the vets who said her kidneys were giving up and it was time. We couldn't face Christmas without her, but she didn't want Christmas dinner and we decided it was time. The vets wasn't open Boxing day, so we took her the next day. She didn't suffer because kidney packing up is a gentle way to go no pain. We miss all our pups greatly. We will be reunited on our deaths with them again 💔🥹

My cat is only 5 months old, but she already suffered a lot, she had a kidney and liver failure. One day she looks healthy and active, the next day she can't eat at all and her tongue out and also slimy all over her mouth, It has been like this for 2 months. I was thinking of euthanize her, but when she first had this sympton I had a Pet Communicator (2 months ago) and she said that she wants to enjoy life and that she had already been this sick since birth (she come from an underweight mother), but she is soo happy to be with me and live with me and she doesn't wanna die yet. Should I euthanize her? please anyone who had knowledge answer me😢

We had to euthanize our cat two weeks ago. She was 5 years old. She had been rescued from a feral situation. We had her since she was about 7 weeks old. She always seemed to have behavioral issues. Physically, she had a gum issue show up this past summer. She needed shots to help her eat. Otherwise, her teeth would have had to have been removed. She is an outdoor/indoor cat...so she needed her teeth for safety. She did okay after the first shot, then she got a second shot about 9 months later. She had some hair knots that had to be removed by a lion shave. She would not let anyone groom her. She had to be sedated for that. After the sedation something was off about her. Within a week she had liver failure. The vets said that it could have been FIP. This is a virus that remains dormant until an event awakens it. The shock of the shave treatment, reaction to anesthesia, or the issue with her gums (stomatitis)...may have triggered the liver failure. Our cat didn't even make it to the euthanasia injection, she passed after a second sedation shot. We made the right decision, because she was suffering and in pain....her organs were shutting down. Best wishes for you in your decision. It is very difficult....we are in the same process with an aging dog. But, ask yourself...how is your pet's quality of life? That is what matters.

My lab is 15 years old, incontinent, spends most of the day sleeping, doesn’t like to walk as much and struggles to get up or stand for a period of time. He does still eat and drink regularly and wags its tail and appears happy to see us. One member of my household thinks he should be out down, because he’s incontinent and no longer the fun and active dog he used to be, but I still see life in him and would feel like I killed him. To me the stress is more the family’s negativity towards him than his decline.

I'm in the minority opinion and I know I am right , think like this , if you could ask your cat if he wants you to put him asleep what do you think his answer would be , most likely he would choose to live the remainder of his or her life even though it is what us humans would call a low quality of life , the reason I say this is that the cats mind works differently than a humans because the cat cherishes every additional second that he has on the face of this earth and fully accepts his fate of pain and discomfort . How can I say this because I know cats better than the vast majority of people as when I was born in 1961 my parents brought me home from the hospital and our cat Ebenezer was sleeping in my crib she died in 1975 , and I have had cats for most of my 63 years and I love them and am crazy about them , so please understand that there is an alternative view of the cat , yes cats have an opinion . These words are etched in fire call me what you want it's the whole truth . It's possible that in extreme situation that a cat would want to be put down if the pain was horrible chronick pain without any chance for improvement .. 1 Reply

Thank you for keeping this video online. I'm having a hard time finding someone with this exact topic, answers my questions in depth, and show's compassion.

My boy of 14 years going on 15 has a cancerous tumor in his mouth...squamous cell carcinoma. I've had him since he was able to be separated from his mother...he's still eating, drinking. No diarrhea. Hell, the boy still plays & chases his tail...idk how much time he has & that thing in his mouth keeps growing...nothing can be done. Again he's 14, never been under anesthesia, never had any major surgery other than being fixed at a very young age. So he may not survive any surgeries. Let's say he does, its in his mouth...he'll he in immense pain & stress. Hehe...I uh don't understand. Damn cancer...

I have suffered so many devastation these recent years losing loved ones whether humans or fur babies that i feel numb and lost my usual ambitious, workaholic, driven self. I see my life with no direction and purpose. I just recently lost my dog last 4-10-24 due to chronic kidney failure. The most humane and kind thing to do to ease her pain and agony is thru euthanisia. There are times im at work when suddenly tears go down my face. When i see her bed, food container and think of the way she wants to be lying near beside me make me so sad and lonely 😢 Praying for all fur parents who lost their fur babies. 🙏🙏🙏

Crazy to think that a video from almost 10 years ago is the most informative yet empathetic one I’ve seen so far, while going through this process. A lot of the information given now is much more watered down and not as specific as what this doctor is saying. & he says this all while showing nothing but sympathy for those dealing with this..

Thank you so much for this video.I have two golden retrievers one still young and the other is a senior.Both these babies are my heart.The older one at times is having trouble getting up or into her bed at night.But once she is up she does pretty good soothing you still can witness in back legs and hips and seems happy.When I go out to play with them she jumps some in the air.She has loss a lot of muscle mass and this concerns me so much.I can’t imagine life without her but because I love her so if I seeing she is suffering I will gift her forever ever peace.She has lived a loving and attentive life and I know in my heart she has lived a Fabulous life.I just hope we can continue our life together for quite awhile more until that decision has to be made.You really helped me understand seeing the signs that indicates the correct timing to let her go.Thank you so much for your insight and your caring heart.

He still seems to be interested in life at this point. He still purrs and snuggles. But it breaking my heart knowing I will have to let him go 😢 Last blood work put him in stage four. So I know it’s all going to come to the end before too long.

I made a huge mistake yesterday. I euthanized my best boy mister nubs yesterday. He was 15. He had arthritis, a heart murmur, dental decay (with terrible breath) and dementia that was at the final stage. I rescued him when he was already 11 so i knew i wouldn't have long with him. His owners were going to put him down because they knew he was having early stage dementia and i have never gotten an old dog and thought i never would but i couldn't see him get put down. He was a beautiful salt and pepper miniature schnauzer. I also didn't plan on bonding with him like we did and falling in love. We had a solid 2 years together before his mental health dropped and he lost 10 lbs and went from 22 lbs to 10 lbs in less than a year even tho he ate two meals a day and treats. He had incontinence but when i would take him outside he would use it. He wasn't in pain. He was still aware half the time and would take the treats out my hand. I had to start him on gabapentin last summer when everything went bad too try to get him to sleep at night instead of getting up and walking in circles until he fell down it of exhaustion. He would tremble and bump in to things. Then i had to double his dose last Friday and that's when i realized it was time for him to go. We put him down at home. He went really peacefully on his couch that he loved to lay on with my while i played Xbox. He actually seemed ready to go like he was relieved but i feel like i made a terrible mistake since he was still eating and wasn't showing any signs of pain. I carried him around everywhere so that he didn't have to walk since he had hard time doing it and would be even worse because his medicine. So I had him on a good schedule and he was receiving the best care he could get and i know he could have lived another year or maybe then 2. IDK why i put him down and I just feel like i made the wrong choice. I miss him so terribly and he made such an impact on me with only 2 years of being "normal". I don't even know why i took him to the vet, spent money, argued with the vet about not putting him down, and upping his dose of meds to just put him down 6 days later. I would have sold my house and went to the moon and back for him if I could. I wish I could have given him some of my years like a sci-fi movie. Yesterday at 330 February 15 2024. I got him in may 2019 when he was 11. I can't function without him and pulled into my driveway today after a long day at work and I'm usually excited because i get to go inside and see my boys but i immediately got depressed and knew he wasn't going to be there. I don't think i will ever recover from this. Rest easy Mister Nubs. I was able to give you 5 more years of life full of friends and love. I had to bathe him about twice a week because of incontinence and he would do it while he was sleeping but when he woke up he was aware of it and would go sleep by my other dog until i woke up and cleaned it for him. I just think i made the wrong decision. Without me taking care of him he would have scored pretty low on this scale but the fact is that I WAS taking care of him and i had no problem with it. I think i shouldn't have listened to my wife and the vet and should have kept taking care of him and medicating him and let him live it out unless he actually lost his appetite or started feeling pain. I've made a mistake and i have to live with it the rest of my life and i don't think u can. He also had problems sleeping until i his medicine snd started putting him in bed with me. Then he would sleep an night. I have murdered my dog and i even paid someone to do it. I made the wrong decision. U know people feel this way after having to put they're beloved pet down but mine is real. All his issues were being maintained and dropped to the minimum because i was taking care of him. Oh my god what do i do!??

Thank you so much for this video. Today I woke up to my 20 year old cat not being able to walk, having no energy or appetite and not being able to control his bladder. After watching this video and talking to my wife it has helped us come to terms with the fact it is time for us to say goodbye to our beautiful old man Merlin. He has had a good long life, with lots of love. He was still happy when he was loosing his sight, having trouble with his joints and even the times he would just look confused or staring off into space. But he is a tired old boy and we need to give him the love and respect that he deserves. I know his brother Chester will miss him as much as we will 😢
