How do you know when to say goodbye?
I know this has been asked time and time again, but I have never had to do it yet. Sadie is really poorly, she is due back at the vets on Friday but she's lost so much weight in just a week I have told my mum to try and get her back in asap. She looks dreadful, I took some pics today on my mobile but tbh i'm not even sure about posting them. She has IBS, and is on steroids, she is eating as much as normal but she's just losing weight on a daily basis, you can see every bone in her body, I hadn't seen her for a few days and today I was nearly sick. She has so little muscle on her thighs now her back legs are no picking up properly when she walks.
Thing is, she's happy in herself, she's not in any pain, she's tired all the time but she's old and ill, she still likes to chase the neighbours rabbit when it gets in the garden, if not for her weight we wouldn't even be contemplating it, but she is so so thin.
Will see what the vet says and if they think we need to come in any sooner, i'm not even sure she'll make her birthday, 17th December, she will be 12.
I'm just uploading the pics I took today, she actually looks better in them than she looks in the flesh as they are only from my mobile but the still might upset, they upset me anyway.
