Warning: this will be a somewhat long post If i am posting this in the wrong subreddit i apologize i dont know where to post this and i will delete it if i need to.
My dog (rat terrier and pug mix, turning 10 in October) started throwing up Saturday night and continued regularly every little while for the next day and then we decided to take her to the vet as she wasnt eating and was dehydrated and stuff. Shes been there for the past two days and it looks like she will be there for a while longer. Initially the vet thought she might have pancreatitis, she was vomiting and her belly was hard and she was in pain. After pain meds and other things like iv fluids and stuff she still refuses to eat, can barely move on her own and anything she drinks comes right back up. Tomorrow they’re doing an ultrasound because they want to see if there is some kind of blockage or something else, as giving her the medicine for pancreatitis when she doesn’t actually have it could “make her stomach explode”. My mom talked to me a little bit ago and was saying stuff like “Be prepared to have to put her down if it turns out she has cancer or something that cant be helped with surgery” and for the past dew days I have been worried sick about her and I keep crying because she really is my best friend and we are buddies and I don’t know how I could ever possibly be prepared to lose her. I know of course it was hypothetical and other than her lack of improvement there is nothing suggesting that she will need to be out down but I jjst don’t know how to cope with knowing it’s something my mom thought to bring up and something that has been in the back of my mind for days. So how am I supposed to cope with that???? How am i supposed to be prepared to just lose the one friend I have who will always love me no matter what and has been with me since she was eight weeks old???????
