Zac and Rodney -U/D 6th 0ctober-Zac Has Died :-(

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
Zac (11) is in Heart Failure, he is also blind and he has arthritis. He has also become senile which is now impacting on his quality of life :cry:

Rodney (9) has advanced osteoarthritis. He went off his back legs on 7th September but we got him up and mobile again with a long acting steroid and lots of physio. After about 10 days he went back onto Metacam and this kept him mobile and comfortable until yesterday when his back legs went again :cry: He has had another steroid injection but so far there has not been much improvement. Rodney does not cope with a lot of hands on care. So if things remain as they are over the weekend I will have to let him go too :cry:

Poor old boys. I am so sorry Jane :( I hope that things will be peaceful for them both x
 
My heart goes out to you Jane. Trying to summon up the courage to decide when the time is right to say goodbye to our old friends is very, very hard to do. But we know we have to do it because we love them so much. Thinking of you.
