update on ollie i need advice

[donna26]

ok as many of you know ollie has kidney failure and he also has very bad anemia (sp) the vet has rang today with his blood results, he has been having bloods done every couple of weeks and now we are having to make the decision whether to put him to sleep or not, she said there is injections he can have to try and help with the anemia but they are slow injections which take 10 - mins and he will need them 3 times a week she said it wont help him get better in the long run, he has not eaten for days now and sleeps all the time, and its time to make a decision and i dont know what to do. please help i feel really torn

Oh Donna i'm so sorry to hear this. I have no advice but just wanted to say i'm thinking of you and Ollie.

This is so sad  and he is so young bless him....life just dosen't seem to make sense.  I think you know in your hearts of hearts what to do....Thinking of you xx

I think Donna that its only a decision you can make - which Im sure you know already.  

I have seen many people say a moment too soon is better than a moment too late.  

I have no advice either but am thinking of you and pray for you to stay strong and make the right decision for you and Ollie

my hubby said it would be cruel to put him through the injections and its best for him to go to heaven, he said hes suffered enough in his short life he has had many problems and is always at the vets, i think i know whats best but i dont know if i can bear to make that phone call

[Helen]

oh donna, so very very sorry to read this. The decision is a heartbreaking one   

no advice, but sending love and strength to you all

Oh i am in tears bless you its the most awful decision to make .....if you love him you will let him go my heart really goes out to you  

[Gpalin]

Oh Donna this has brought a tear to my eye im so, so sorry what a terrible decision to have to make especially when he's so young, I think your husband may be right.

I am so sorry to hear you are going though this and my thoughts are with you all  

[donna26]

It's not selfish at all doggys become part of your family it's only natural you feel like that and I know that if I was in your position I wouldnt have a clue what to do and it would completley break my heart 

Could you not wait till his 1st Birthday let him have the best birthday ever? How much does he seem to be suffering Donna?

[fenn2006]

[[[hug[[[ just want to give you a hug x Is so hard to say the right thing as nothing will make it any better. I am so sorry you and Ollie have to go through this xx  

[CarolineL]

I have gone all leaky 

Have you pm'ed Lisa (supaspaniel)? I know that she went through something similar with  her cocker Harmy- she might be able to talk to you about what to expect etc etc

I am thinking of you  and Ollie too. Give him a cocker squidge from Hurley and yourself a ((hug)) from me

Like most others I think its a decision only you and your family can make and whatever you decide will be the best decision for you.
I do agree with your hubby though saying it would be cruel to put him through the injections, but still its a tough decision . Thinking of you all.

Oh God Donna. That terrible news and I am thinking of you honey. You WILL know what to do and you WILL find the strength to do it when you have to. 

[Nuffi]

I'm so so sorry to read this, and what a horrible heartbreaking situation for you. But the important thing is that you love him, and that he knows that, and that you will do the right thing for him, and not let him suffer
