I've been thinking about what to say, I think the most important part is about how its not about us. its about them. I've had to let go of four cats. It hurt so much. Devastating. But we have to focus on them. what they are going through. If It's either hold on to them and let them suffer or let them go. then I have to let them go. My empathy for my babies is far grater than my fear of being without them. I have four little erns in a special place in my closet, next to my fathers ashes. I had to let him go to. I have so much more to say but I felt I need to get that part out sooner than later. Sending hugs and love as always. If the day comes you have to let her go. I hope you have close friends and maybe your mom with you. From what I can tell she if a good comforting one. It does hurt less after, and over time it does fade. you are going to be okay. I promise. you are strong enough.💙💙💙

2026-02-07 07:29:04 +0000 UTCI had to make a similar more intense decision with my dog frankenstien. 12 yr old needed 3 surgeries at once, 28 staples. I chose to do it, that was April 1st 2 years ago & he is still here. If everything else is "normal" I say the risk is worth it. Also, look into carecredit helps with the bills.

2026-02-02 06:28:36 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry, Vicky. Please know that the sadness and heartache you are experiencing, is the purest evidence of the depth of the love, affection and tenderness that you and Dennis have given each other. A bond that pure doesn’t disappear because of the unbearable decision you are facing. Whatever that decision is, it will come from love just like the countless acts of love you given her over the years. Please be gentle with yourself. You are a wonderful bunny mama. Praying for you and Dennis.

2026-01-31 00:06:51 +0000 UTCA year ago we put down my family pet from my childhood. Whatever you do, that is okay. Neither choice makes any difference to who you are as a person. Not putting him down isn't selfish, even if you might question yourself to think it is. You love him and you don't know what's best for him, and he can't tell you. Putting him down when he's not giving out the obvious dying signs is not wrong either. Animals are individuals and while they do have common traits they may not immediately display those traits, or we may have gotten used to some over time and not recognise them. And even so, in this case it seems more about the knowledge that this will continue to happen, and likely get more dramatic or worse over time, and so it would be more about helping him avoid having to go through that. Neither decision is bad. Your floofer has a good owner.

2026-01-30 18:05:51 +0000 UTCSo so sorry to hear you’re going through this. I know it’s not exactly the same thing, but I’ve been going through something similar with my dog. (A Shih Tzu) About a year, and half ago now my dog was diagnosed with a heart condition. While he’s on heart medicine it’s only really to prolong his life. Every time he shows the slightest sign of something being wrong, my heart sinks. He’s turning 11 this year, and now have to break up his food, because his teeth aren’t good, and has trouble chewing. He can still eat, but gotta be careful what we feed him. We almost lost him a few weeks ago because he swallowed a treat whole, and it got lodged in his throat. Thankfully the vet was able to get it out, and he’s fine now. It was a huge wake up call, and I’ve been spending more time with him, and treasuring every moment with him, because you never know when his heart may stop. I can’t imagine what life will be like after he passes. As for your sweet Dennis, I also say quality of life is most important. If you can provide her with a comfortable home where she’s not in pain, can eat/drink, and you can take care of her where she can her regular life I wouldn’t do anything. Personally I’m not sure about surgery, if she might not make it through it, but also I don’t know how I’d feel if I knew there was a way I could help her, and didn’t take it. If you haven’t already I’d get a second opinion too. A vet that specializes in more than just standard medical care might be able to offer a better option. If you have to go the route of euthanasia please don’t go alone, make sure you go with family, it’ll be one of the hardest things you ever do. Praying for you, and Dennis.

But as a huge fan I will pray for many things, possible recovery for Dennis, more time to treasure with him, strength for your decision no matter what it is, and strength for you if/when the time comes. We are all here for you and care for you and your life outside the content creator life.

2026-01-30 15:06:55 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. So sorry about your child. My wife had to say goodbye to her dog she had since high school a few months before we got married. I know how hard it is to lose a furry child. If you need some time from making content please take as much time as you need. We’ll all still be here. We’re not going anywhere. Take care of yourself V 💙👊🏼

2026-01-30 15:03:23 +0000 UTCMy heart breaks for you, its never easy watching a a pet get ild and sick ,they really are like family. Euthanasia is never easy, but I would say if Dennis is still seeming normal, eating their food ,drinking their water etc, then just leave them be for now, there is still quality of life there. When it came time for me to have to put my cat tom down i waitied as long as i could , it wasnt until he wasnt able to eat or drink anymore that i knew it was time. I have no doubt you love all your fur babies and i know youll know when it is the right time for yours, im so sorry this is happening though ❤️
