My 6 year old dog died and I keep crying like a little bitch. AMA

[LockedHDD__Pot]

did the vet ask why it had taped-on oven mitts?

6 years old... just a pup.

Sorry man. You did the right thing by not spending more money on vet care. Twenty years ago, when my childhood lab was dying, the vet told my parents to let him go instead of spending thousands only to extend his life by a few weeks. Nowadays, a lot of vets would try to get you to set up a payment plan.

when my mum’s cat was in agonising pain, the vets strongly advised he be put down instead of postponing the inevitable. she reluctantly agreed, but was in absolute shambles leaving. a few days after, a card came in the mail which read along the lines of “pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. we’re sorry for your loss”, signed by the staff whom were working that day. we refuse to use any other local vet after that

a society where they cut ties from family and then replace the emotional and other bonds by investing it on dumb animals, lol.

But enough about Western immigration policy.

Frankly I'm depressed and ashamed, innocent creature, gabagool etc.

Thats terrible I'm sorry, lost my doxie eight years old, he was walking one night next morning he was dragging both back legs, took him to vet and got x-ray showed he had cancer all over, two years later it still sucks thinking about him

I have 2 little Mr Maloonigan type dogs. Love these lil mugs more than most humans. Anyways last week the younger one who just turned 6 was being a bit sluggish and just not acting himself so I took him to the vet and they ran all the tests, nothing out of sorts, just keep doing what you're doing and if he stays that way they will run the blood tests. Well obviously nothing improved and the blood showed that he was in full blown AIDS (jk), kidney failure and there was really nothing to do except for submitting him to an animal hospital where they could do lots of tests and dialysis but the cost would be insanely expensive like thousands per treatment and the quality of life would be shit. So of course I declined and we just took him home and loved him until his body started shutting down. The vet said he wouldn't be in pain but towards the last few days I could tell he wasn't enjoying life with how much he couldn't stay still, constantly moving around all the time trying to get comfortable. I made an appointment to put him down but the earliest they had was 12pm but then luckily my lil mugs heart gave out at 10am saving me a trip to the Vet, although not really b/c I had to bring his corpse there to get cremated.

I'm actually glad its over b/c the worst part was seeing him not being himself and looking at me and I can tell he's thinking 'cmon man, help me out'. 6 years old though? BARELY. Too short of a life. I guess shih tzus are one of those breeds that are high on the spectrum to getting kidney displasia as pups and its one of those things that you don't notice until its too late unless you get lucky and a vet spots it in blood work. I feel so guilty. No dog should have such a short life. Plus all the time I spent just doing random shit liek playing videogames or chatting on here while he was wanting to play scratching at my chair and me taking for granted how much time we will have together. Anyway I just needed to vent a little bit. It helps. Any of yall lost a pet?

FAWK.

TLDR: I'm gay and my dog died.

It's ok to cry like a faggot if it's over a dog that you didn't get enough time with. I actually just picked up my little guy's urn today. The new emptiness and crushing silence is killing me, tbqhwy.

And btw, at-home euthanasia is the way to go, fellas. My dog died eating steak from my lady's hand. Never take them for granted!

It sounds horrible but getting a new puppy will cheer you up and make you forget about the stuff you had to just deal with. Boxers have the same problem your dog did so avoid those too.

Don’t get a puppy if you have a job unless you’re willing to send them away for a couple weeks of training. We just got a puppy and he’s a fucking asshole and pissed in my bed last night. Our other dog is the best. We got her as a 2 year old and already potty trained and didn’t bite us for no reason all day. If she dies before me I’ll blow my fucking head off.

The vets lied to you. You could have kept that Dog alive. You just didn't want to pay for it. So what he felt a little uncomfortable? That gives you the right to let these insane-o Animal Doctors kill him? These quacks love making a buck injecting dwoggies with needles to give them a death sentence. Man, it's actually nuts when you think about the fact that we take dogs and get their balls cut off - we regulate their ability to repopulate - for our own amusement. Sick shit. Anyways, god bless, You'll be aight.

It's not white people's fault we aren't completely lacking in empathy for other living creatures, you fucking shit homonculus

Sincere outraged Redditor vibes from this post. "You Douche Canoe!!! Leave my hecking Pupperinos alone!!!"

fuckin hell. I just can't believe how fucking fast this all happened. He went from "perfectly fine" to just not wanting to eat, sleeping a ton and then the following week can hardly walk or stand while peeing and then stiff as a board dead. At least my last dog died at 14 so he had a full life and I was sad but hey what more can you ask for? But just turned 6 is fucking criminal. I should have seen it b/c he had issues as a pup like frequenly peeing, drinking lots of water and stuff like that. I just thought he was quirky and needy. Im guessing since day 1 his kidneys were taking a hit and they just used up every bit they can until they didn't work no mo.

Yea im a bit lucky that I had 2 dogs so his older brother is still going strong and having a ball. He def knew something wasn't right but its hilarious how dogs can just forget about what happened and just go on like nothing happened. I've been much better lately and a bit cried out but once in a while I think of how he didn't get a fair shot at life and tear up a bit. I'll wait a few months and find another fella to pair up with my other dog. I love the 2 dog dynamic as they keep each other company so you don't have to always be entertaining 24/7.

I bet NANA cried like a little faggot over his stupid cat.

My dog died last year. He was fine one day and I went to feed him and he wouldn't get up. He barely made it to the food bowl and wouldn't eat hardly. I knew something was wrong because the fat fuck would eat my boogers if I held them up to him. He was dead two days later after we took him to the vet and they tried to bully us into spending 10k to save him. We spent about 4 and he died the next day from a blood clot. Found out he had some cancer too and the original lethargic behavior was from a mass growing on his kidney. I still miss him every day. I haven't felt this bad since my dad died.
