Had to euthanize a pet on saturday.
 

pasted from another thread:

She had degenerative bone cancer and lost the use of her lower back/back legs saturday night. We said if she ever got to where her quality of life diminished, we'd do the right thing and that was pretty much it. Since she's been going downhill the past 4 months we've taken her out for ice cream during that time. Poor thing was probably expecting a treat after the car ride rather than what she got. :(

6 years is a long time. Doesn't matter to me whether it was a ferret or a Rottie. I like animals more than people and am still hugely upset. I'd never been in the room for the injection before this weekend. Our other ferrets seem depressed.

It's always sad to lose a loved one.

But every second the passes by, our quality of life is diminishing. Unless you have gene therapy or stem cell replacement therapy. The question is where you draw the line...

My condolences on your loss

Sorry about your little buddy ...

.

it hurts just as much as loss of a human friend.

animals have a special relationship with us humans in this world, and its sad their lifetime is so short.

as others have already and more will beneath me will say, condolences.

Sorry to hear.

Go buy another one. It won't replace the one you lost but it will help fill the void in your heart.

Sorry to hear that, my condolences

That sux ferrets are cool too

sorry for your loss

I don't have a problem with neither gene therapy nor stem cell therapies, not that I'm sure what that has to do with anything.

I care for my animals more than almost any person I can think of.

:) sorry to hear that.

very sorry to hear man.. sounds like you have other friends that would like to go out for ice cream

Very sorry to hear that :(
