Mishka was put to sleep tonight.....
After her seizure on Friday night, her legs got really bad and she could not lift her back end at all. She was filthy already but obviously got far worse with no use of her legs at all. She became matted with filth and urine.
Last night we could delay cleaning her no longer.
She fitted within seconds of us starting. We stopped immediately.
Her legs were even worse then, and we think she may have lost the use of one eye (the pupil looked too dilated to me). She spent the night in the run and did not even go inside.
We both knew it was time.
I found her huddled in the straw when I got home and she could barely manage to move herself at all. She had some last treats and then went peacefully at the vets.
We are both devastated, but in a strange way we are glad that we knew for definate that it was her time.
Some people may think we gave up too easily. I can only say that as her owners, carers and companions, we both knew for absolute definate that we should not make her suffer any longer.
Rest in peace little Mishka. We will miss you.....
