Tried about everything we could find to make it work, but after about a week of different things, she started crying for help, literally. That’s when we really knew.
Probably one of the harder decisions you can ever make but do your best to do what’s right for her. Whatever that might be. [Reply]
Man that sucks. I’m sorry. I still devolve into putty over my girl 2 months ago. They are a member of your family that leave a noticeable hole once they’re gone [Reply]
My Wife and I love Dachshunds. Our young girl (back in 2004) had her first and only litter. The problem was that she mated with a medium size male and she was a mini-dachshund.
The night she gave birth, we sat up all night (along with out vet) to help her out. Elsa was born starved with oxygen both in one of her front paws and the ear flap; but she was saved and flourished like a champ for the next 12-13 years she was our "miracle pup"
We had to put her down about a month and a half ago and the same vet that brought her into the world, took her out.
I am a Vietnam combat veteran and to this day, it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I would rather have shot myself. I feel for you Brother. They become family and just as hard to part with. Thoughts and prayers go with you. [Reply]

I had to put down my first dog, she simply got old and was in obvious pain just getting up and down, hated to watch this. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and it took a long tim.....getting misty typing this.
