Andy

[RBak]

I'm taking Andy to the vet. He has stopped eating and will only drink water, and lots of it. He's still able to get around, up and down stairs, but is clearly not comfortable. Last night he had diarrhea. At this point, I don't know what, if anything can be done. I want to spare him suffering and pain, and hope I make the right decision at the vet's office this morning. It would be really great if this was something totally unrelated to the liver and kidney issues. Thanks to all the forum members for all your support, prayers and kindness during this unfortunate occurrence with Andy.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for putting Andy's needs ahead of your wants. It's so hard to let them go, especially when you haven't had time to prepare. Run free, Andy!

Andy knew he was loved right up until he peacefully closed his eyes for the last time....it takes a loving person to let go humanely .

I'm so sorry. This is an especially tough time of year to lose somebody you love, but then, there is no easy time. Andy was very loved and well cared for. Thank you for not keeping him past the point when he was enjoying life. Run free at The Bridge, Andy!

It is so difficult, but letting him go and leave pain behind is a great gift to him. Bless you for the great life you gave him

Rita, I had hoped you would have a bit more time to mentally prepare for this; but we understand that sometimes we have to do what's kind for our pets, even if it's heartbreaking for us. Sending you a big cyber ((((HUG!))))

I am so sorry for your loss. Andy will have a place in your heart forever.
We, as their humans, have to make the hardest decision, but we also know it is the best decision for them. My Bailey Boy met him at the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs (( ))

Andy was humanely euthanized this morning. My vet was most compassionate and understanding. Andy could not have gotten better and is now relieved of his pain and suffering. Today is the feast day of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, home of collies and shelties. A most appropriate day for Andy to leave this world and enter the next. Thanks to all of you for your compassion.

Our prayers are with you in your loss. God bless you.
