Topic | Pet owners, would you ever put down your pet? |
Dark_Spiret 11/19/19 12:03:33 AM #15: | had to put down two pets. one with a tumor growing out of her jaw that required a $3000 operation, but only a 10-20% chance of surviving because of her age. made the choice to go forward putting her down. 13 years old tho, she lived a good life, otherwise if she was considerably younger id probably go through with the operation. the other was my cat, Zep who was an orange tabby i had for 10 years before he got colon cancer. this one really gut me as i had to watch his health decline over a year from one of the most loving, easy going and expressive animals iv ever seen in my life just deteriorate into a scared shell that couldnt make it to the litter box and didnt want to be around anyone by the end. this was 4 years ago and i still get choked up thinking about him. tried everything outside of a low probability operation, but his health by that time was so far deteriorated he had a low chance of surviving. made the call to put him to sleep and i ended up actually watching the life leave his eyes at the time. im still pretty fucking up over it. ...
