I mentioned my beloved Tiger several times in this forum. She passed away 2/13/17.
I know there is a saying its better to do it too soon rather than to late when it comes to making the decision to euthanize our pets.
But I cant help but feel guilty.
I replay everything over in my head and I can honestly say that I put her down too soon. I was emotional, irrational and fearful. I didn't understand what the vet was trying to convey to me. I didn't listen to my gut.
I didn't pay attention to the signs that Tiger wanted to live. The more I read about TIger's condition, the more I realized I could've extended her life at least by a few more years.
I didn't give her the chance to fight for her life.
And it makes me sick to my stomach. I did not give her that chance. It was the early symptoms, she could have recovered. All I had to do was change her diet.
I messed up.
