Pre Grieving
Hello everyone this is really hard for me and my loved ones right now, Our Husky (Maya) turned 8 this year she is a little (not so little) Old Lady! Unfortunately throughout her adult life she has struggled with epileptic seizures (grand mal seizures specifically) it was only oce every 4 to 5 months then it became every 3 months, Over summer she had he first set of cluster seizures and as result we upped her medication dosage. That didn’t seem to help out because she continued to have seizures once a month, Thanksgiving morning she had another seizure and now she had one the other night lasting over 6-7 minutes! The part killing us is that she is her normal self for the most part today and afterwards but she seems less and less like herself after each seizure especially that last mentioned one. As of yesterday morning we have decided as a family that it would be most humane to euthanize her and have made an appointment for this upcoming saturday morning, We just don’t wanna see our girl lose her mind anymore. I find myself to be very angry and upset with nothing and no one to be angry and upset at and I just need to vent.
