Lizzie Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 .....I'm taking several deep breaths, this is so hard to say. Danny will be taking the journey to Rainbow bridge on Friday. He saw the vet this afternoon and she was concerned at the deterioration in him, just 6 weeks after his last consultation. Danny collapsed saturday morning while I was still in bed, he didn't bark or cry so I disn't know what had happened. Lord knows how long he was down for, maybe 3/4 hour or so, but his back legs had splayed and he was in a semi-sit position. I had to use a towel to get his back end up, he had also fouled himself while down. The poor lamb was mortified and couldn't bring himself to look at me. Danny lost some of his dignity that morning and he hasn't recovered from it yet, he has fallen a few more times since then. My lad is a fighter, through and through. He is worn out though and in pain with arthritis, my vet says his hips are virtually gone. Our decision has been made on Danny's quality of life, mainly after seeing the post from red rotties (poor Lesley, I really feel for her ) I can't bear the thought of leaving the house and Danny falling and breaking a leg or something, so with a great many tears today the end is so near. Sorry for the long post, just in bits at the moment. Thanks everyone for your messages over the weekend, it helped enormously knowing Danny was in your thoughts.
