Of course, at the end, she had trouble traversing the front door ledge and then the step, so we would carry her to the start of the alley and put her on the ground. She would then just lie down.....

Her back legs kept collapsing, she was riddled with arthritis, deaf, her eyesight was going, she had dementia and her front paws were infected and we couldn't get that cleared up no matter what we did.

Dean (vet) said she might have another week to 10 days, but with no quality of life.

It was time.....

Thinking of you Hun {{{Hugs}}}

You did the right thing x

I am so sorry you are going through this Vicki, if you had left it any longer you would be beating yourself up as to whether you left it too late (I have been there and done that), in a years time a week will seem a very short time and i am sure you will realise you were absolutely right to make that difficult decision.
