Today is a hard day! 🥺
Early morning, I’ve had to leave my dog at the veterinary hospital for a dental surgery. Dolfi is an 11.5 years old Maltese. He is a strong boy and a damn fighter, but leaving him there broke my heart. I know he is in good hands, the staff are amazing, but I can’t help and worry. I can’t help but wait for the call to bring him home and have him here with me.
When the vet told me that as an older dog, there’s a possibility that his heart might stop, my heart almost stopped as well. Logically, of course, I know it’s a possibility but hearing it and knowing it is completely different. When they asked me if I wanted him to be resuscitated in case of heart failure, I think I almost got a heart attack right there. Yes! Hell yes! Why is that even a question?! I mean logically, I understand when an animal is old and sickly it is a possibility that letting him sleep is a better solution, but Dolfi is full of life and such a strong dog, of course, they have to do everything they can. I think my heart just broke again. Once again, I know they must ask, but as a pet owner it’s hard to hear these things. 🥺
I can wait to have him back in my arms ♥️
