Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.

My 11 yr old baby is dying and I'm having a hard time coping. The last few months he has been diagnose with cushings and diabetes.the last few weeks we have been to the vet almost daily for sugar tests fluids. He still has some good days but very little appetite. I go to work five hrs a day drive 40 min too vet then don't leave his side. I feel like I'm dying with him. He's been my sanity for 11 yrs my best friend..I'm beating myself up for not being the perfect mom. For everything I did wrong for not getting him help SOONER..vet is amazing and said he could get better but it's killing me watching him.she says he's not suffering. He's been off his meds all week due too lack appetite but his sugar is perfect now..just need help advice a hug something

I'm so sorry you are going through this. When I lost my cat 10/28/13, I had many what 'if's which in the long run doesn't help in any way. Everyone seems to go through this during loss so don't beat yourself up. You are doing the best that you can and he knows that you love him. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. (((Big hug)))

I'm sorry that your furry friend and you are having to go thru this-sometimes we wonder which is worse,a sudden passing or the dragged out one.

Thank you for your kind words we trying pain Meds and anti neaseous meds because he got shakes bad and diarrhea.. I agree a quick death would seem easier on him and I. I constantly worry.

He knows how hard you're trying to get him well and feeling good again. Try not to be hard on yourself -- I know it's almost impossible not to at a time like this, but it only makes you feel worse. I guarantee your sweet baby is only thinking about how lucky he is to have you taking such wonderful care of him.

I am going through a similar situation. It is so hard. I am glad to see so many people supporting you. I know it hurts. Try not to punish yourself with guilt. I have been reminded that I am going through a grieving process. It can really be hardest for the caregiver. You are giving the greatest gift, love.

Our babies can amaze us with their comebacks when it seems like they are leaving us. There is nothing like the love of an animal in my opinion. Your baby knows how much you love him and no matter what you believe, he knows how much you do, and what a wonderful mom you are. Hugs GB

I know this has been difficult for you. I hope you can find peace.

I'm sorry you're going thru this, when I lost my Giz I beat myself up with should have , could have, When Keeg got sick just like you I did what I had to do right down to mouth to mouth almost daily, when I knew I needed to let him go , I couldn't let him suffer, I was doing all I could for him because I couldn't let him go , he had a few bad spells one day and I called the vet, in my heart I knew what I needed to do, just like you Hun, I don't carry the guilt I have with Giz, I did what was right for him not what was right for me, I'd have never let him go but he was my live, my life and deserved to not suffer , I was his mom , I had to do the right thing for him, don't be so rough on yourself Hun , you know you did what you needed to for your baby, I'm so very sorry
