Remember 4 years, 6 months agoOur absolute SWEETNESS Rocket. Had him on several serious meds for 3 years for his liver and Cushings. Then last week he stopped wanting to eat and I took him in and his vitals were ok. The next day they took his bloodwork and then she came in and said he’s in acute kidney failure and his kidneys are shitting down. She said even if we hospitalize him he’d need to be on times for testing and not with us but that the outcome will be the same, so she had to put him down. They picked him up yesterday from the cremation place. I feel so sick inside and SO extremely guilty. Also trying to comfort my sweet Princess Ping Pong who’s looking for him, and sighing, and can’t stop crying and trying to talk to her and it kills me that I can’t help her understand, but I can’t even be,p myself 💔🙏🏼🥺-
I do not understand your feelings of “guilt”. It seems you did everything, just everything you could for Rocket. I understand we are inclined to feel we could have done more, but what more could you or the doctors have done in such a situation? We second guess ourselves, chastise ourselves for not noticing something, or knowing more, but I am absolutely sure you always did what was in Rocket’s best interest and your feelings of guilt are misplaced. I hope you will be kind to yourself, as you know Rocket would be, and would want for you. Your grief is deep, and raw, and you should be in a puddle on the floor with sorrow (but please, no guilt). Princess Ping Pong is mourning too and knows you share this grief together. You are fortunate to have each other. Euthanasia is a gift of peace and release, a relief from current and future pain and suffering. It takes a tremendous amount of love and selflessness to let our beloveds pass with comfort even though we suffer the loss at the deepest cellular level. I admire you for your efforts over the years, and beg you to never feel a whiff of undeserved guilt. I am grateful to you for sharing the gallery of pictures that show Rocket’s personality and let’s us get to know him a bit, and share your grief. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Please also stay with us as often as you want, need or like so we can be here for you. It’s not much, but it’s heartfelt – here is my {{HUG}} for you and one for Princess Ping Pong {{HUG}}. Toni -
I know exactly how you feel, the pain of choosing to put your poor baby down and the pain of not having Rocket with you. I just had to do the same with my poor Snickers I miss him every minute of every day. I am here for you I know the pain. Sending love ❤ and prayers 🙏
