My lab is quickly declining in health. Her last vet visit (2 weeks ago) revealed low kidney functions after blood work. They kept her on IV’s and observation for 3 nights with limited changes in kidney levels and diagnosed her with chronic kidney disease and estimated a 3-5 month lifespan. She will be 12 this October.
To see her go downhill this quick is breaking my heart. In a matter of weeks she went from swimming and playing with the kids in the yard to sleeping 95% of the day, losing her hair and not eating. The Appetite went from not finishing her food to just now she wouldn’t even lick a spoon of peanut butter.
My question is “when do you know it’s time”. I don’t want her suffering but as I’m typing this, she is laying on the hardwoods looking at me with a little wag still in her tail which makes me believe she isn't ready.
Why does this shit have to be so damn difficult?
