our lovely girl is gone.
the anti seizure drugs worked well for 8 days, and then they did not. we were fortunate to find a vet who specialises in at home euthanasia who was kindness personified. Nelly had a very bad night Sunday, thankfully yesterday Monday had rallied and was happy again but the brain tumour had progressed, she would soon have got a lot worse so we gave her a lovely Monday morning , a good meal, treats, a short walk, a play in sun in garden and then this vet came out and spent over an hour here, she fed her nice things and checked her over to make sure there was nothing else could be done, reassured us that we were not being too soon . she was so gentle and subtle Nelly did not even notice the sedative and went to sleep across my lap holding her favourite toy in her mouth. the photo is only from Saturday, I still keep looking for her so hard to believe is not here. the poem arrived in post from the vet this morning and I read it and cried.and cried some more. then today I phoned our regular vet to let them know she would not be needing her next appointment - and found the end care vet had been kind enough to have already informed them . so thoughtful.
anyone in Birmingham who has dogs and cats this end care vet is well worth knowing about- the practise is called Dignipet. https://www.dignipets.co.uk I feel completely broken at our loss but at least her passing was happy and peaceful.
