I am so so sorry to read this and please accept my condolences on the loss of your dear Buddy.

It does sound like he was not doing well at all...for whatever reason. What did the vet say/think? I am sure if there had been a glimer of hope, your vet would have offered an alternative to sending him to the Bridge.

It does sound like you did the right thing and I understand how much you are hurting right now.

There is no easy answer...just time. Good luck

I think you made the right decision, it sounds like his condition deteriorated very quickly which is never a good sign. You made the right decision not to let him suffer.

I'm so sorry, uscfanhere It's never an easy decision but when you have to make it so quickly with little time to prepare, it's even more difficult. Sounds like you did the right thing for your Buddy.
