after Oscar was put out of his misery yesterday i cant help but think im only keeping pearl going out of selfishness. ive been looking on the net for HOW WILL I KNOW answers because im so scared ill miss it
i found this
Warning signs are:
* Not eating or drinking <<< shes still greedy
* Withdrawn or lethargic <<< not yet, shes too active for my liking tbh
* Neglecting himself <<< nope still grooming Alvin too
* Incontinence <<< nope
* Signs of pain - he may cry out if touched << she squeaks when i give her meds sometimes
* Cannot get comfortable <<< this sometimes seems to be the case, she cant seem to lie down for long and most times i see her shes sitting up with her head up
* Unwilling to move about <<< she still moves about, but she rests more.. no more destruction play. but i did get a breakfast binky this morning
* Tumors or injuries <<< N/A
* Unable to hold head up when at rest <<< head is held up most of the time
am i cruel keeping her going while shes clearly not breathing well but seems happy and intested in life.. im so torn
last night she gave me a thorough grooming but she coughed a few times, she did put her head down for me to groom her.. but she looks frail, too old for a 2 year old
