One of my fur babies (dog) has been sick for awhile. We almost lost her during surgery to get her teeth cleaned. we choose not to put her through that again.
friday she was having coughing fits due to her lungs and heart filled with fluid and she collapsed twice while my little man was at school.
my mom and I made the decision to bring her to the vet to be put down due to her being very very sick.
It;s finally hit my little man who is 7 that she is not coming back. So the meltdowns have begun. we have explained that she was very sick and old but that doesn't seem to be working.
anyone else experienced this situation and what worked for you ?

I have not had to deal with this with a 7 year old, but we had to put our 15 year old lab down this past November. My 13 year old boy was sad but understood that he would no longer be in pain. However, it is harder for a 7 year old to grasp this.
We luckily have two more young Shih tzu's and this has helped. I am not saying to replace your Furbaby that just passed, but if you are ready, it sometimes helps to rescue a new one in need.
