I've never experienced this before. He's 14 & he's a small guy. He has a hernia in his rectum that isn't allowing him to go to the bathroom anymore. He's miserable. We had an enema done last night at the animal hospital and he has just been miserable. He even had such a hard time sitting down. I've had him since I was in 3rd grade and I'm about to graduate college in the Spring. My heart is breaking and I can't imagine my life without him. I've never loved anything or anyone the way I love this little man, but he's suffering. He's in pain. I have this constant hope of, "What if tomorrow he's better?", but the hernia won't magically go away. In fact, it gets worse everytime he strains to go to the bathroom. I'm afraid that making the decision to euthanize could be the wrong one, because what if I didn't put him down and he did get better? I don't know what to do. I feel so selfish keeping him here.. He would be so scared to be euthanized, who wouldn't? I'm at such a loss. I've never had to put an animal down before. Opinions? Would you hold out or let him fly high and make his way to heaven? He's the sweetest thing to have ever walked this earth. He's on so manh medications now too and he hates them. Making him take them is such a big struggle. I'm rambling, I'm sorry. I just feel so lost. I need to know that putting him to sleep is what is best and what he needs.
