Have to euthanize but can't find the strength in me.
Hello everyone, so my baby
name: Gordo (fatty)
Age: 10 years, 7 months.
Color: black and white, like a cow.
Was diagnosed with CKD back in April 2022, and we've worked so hard to keep his numbers in order and so far, it has worked wonderful.
But back in March of this year, an ulcer appeared on his tongue and after several trips to varios vets and several rounds of antibiotics we got the worst news ever: it was cancer.
Unfortunately the cancer spread a little and a piece of his tongue had to be cut out. The vet guessed 6 moths, so I cried it out but decided to give him the best life possible.
That was on October 15 and the first two weeks while hard, he showed so much improvement: he begun to eat and drink by himself again and was playing with his toys again.
Until one day I found his little face covered in blood and realized he had bit himself, took him to the vet for a checkout and the tumor had re grown below his tongue. He got fluids and meds and we got back to syringe feeding. But two weeks ago, the tumor had another grow spur on top of his tongue and it looks like he has two tongues. While we keep the syringe feeding and drinking, he started to spit it out and ends up biting himself several times a day.
Back in February he was 6 kgs (around 12 pounds) and now he's at 4 kgs (8 pounds). I can't even imagine the amount of pain he is in, every single day, every moment he's awake.
And while I know I have to do it because it just won't get better, I can't find the will to move my legs and take him.
Please, if any of you have any recommendations, I'm all ears.
Thank you .
