We adopted Paige the niece of my last dog just under 3 years ago after my dog Loki passed unexpectedly.
Last Friday we got test results of a cancer wrapped around her bladder outlet explaining why she was having urination problems and blood in it.
We were supposed to start her tonight on some meds this evening that might have helped her reduce the symptoms or make her violently throw up 50/50 and would not be ready until today .
As fate would have it she started to rapidly decline over the weekend eventually bleeding large amounts when she peed and yelping in pain.
She had mAybe ½ day before she would go septic , so we stopped at an animal hospital .
While there we made the decision to put her to sleep.
My wife and I and our 13yr old kid were there with her during the event .
I've never had to this before and can't believe how shitty i feel.
