My old boy Bubu of 18 years. I think he is going to die soon. I was sad before, now I'm crying and screaming my guts out.

He hasn't been well. He's been getting older and frailer. And he is having trouble keeping his food down. I don't know what to do. I took him to the vet last year and said he was healthy but he had something wrong with his tummy. But I didn't need to worry about it now. Apparently I do. Because now he is sick. And I'm petrified I'm going to lose the last thing my mother gave me before she died. I'm in absolute agony. I cannot comprehend how this had made everything so much worse. I don't think I'm going to be able to handle it. I do not think I'm going to be able to. I don't think I'll ever be able to heal after this. I believe this is going to permanently destroy me. I'm too attached to my baby to let him go. He's all I have. I feel as if I'm engulfed in pain. He's not even gone and my thoughts are telling me I should go with him. The stress is going to kill me.

*My Maniac crying has gone numb but I was able to stop. I'm able to control my breathing as of now. But my head hurts very much rn.*

Losing a very much love pet is very sad, and seeing the pain you go through on a daily basis I would imagine the dog is your best friend

Oh, so sad to hear this. My wife ad I have had 9 dogs over the 17 years we've been together and whenever we've lost one it leaves a hole in the family. Right now one of our two pups is nearing 15, frail, incontinent, senile, etc., but he still keeps going; but we know his time is coming and we will be in tears when it does.

My heart goes out to you and Bubu. (((HUGS)))

@ChipmunkErnie thank you so much. I really truly mean that.

@ScarletWitch You're talking to someone who cries over the death of a guinea pig. :( In a way I envy you -- you;re young and can have other pets. My wife and I had to decide that when we hit our 70s this last dog -- she's 4 now -- will have to be our last puppy experience. When our one older dog goes, it will be the first time in almost 40 years there hasn't been either 3 or at least 2 dogs in the house. :(

I remember that post when you told us that Bubu helped you when you were in a bad spot. Hopefully he still manages to recover. 😿

It's very sad when beloved pets pass on, particularly when you're already vulnerable. It's an inevitability, unfortunately, that one day they will go and the right way to think about it is in terms of how they have lived. They have been happy, safe and loved. When they pass they will no longer be in pain and you have given them a life that they might otherwise not have had. That is something to be proud of.

Don't waste precious moments thinking about when the end might come. Instead savour every moment.

Hey I had the same thing with my dog Tiggy in 2020. It was so hard, I had constant panic attacks. When she did pass on fortunately it wasn't painful, she was asleep as they were going to do a blood transfusion, but she was too I'll by then.

I was depressed for ages. I still miss her everyday.
