The vet says he has a cancerous lump and will not survive any intervention, and that he was a very different dog than even from two months ago and that it was time. He has dementia, tracheal stenosis, diabetes and cataracts, and coughs a lot, so it really is time, but my ex needed to hear it from the vet, who thankfully is always her forthright helpful compassionate self.

I know the internet hates pugs, but he was a stray I fostered and then adopted, and he had a wonderful hilarious personality, was cuddly as could be, and really did very well until the last year or so.

It is the right decision without question, but it’s never any easier no matter what experience you have with it. I will miss my puppy baby so much.

    I’m so sorry OP :(( I had to put down my cat a year ago due to liver failure. By the time we took her to the hospital it was too late. We took her to the vet just a couple weeks before and the vet didn’t noticed anything wrong with her. It was a complete shock to my mom and I. I still miss her dearly.

      That’s horrible and I’m so sorry for you and your poor kitty. I hate when you have to do it as an emergency situation so I’m glad we have time to plan and say goodbye.
