The dog is a furry one with whom we spend great moments. He is capable of making us smile every day, giving us a lot of love without asking for practically anything in return, and making us enjoy life. It is very sad that his life expectancy is much shorter than ours as it is very easy for him to become our best friend and companion. And nobody wants to say goodbye to their loved ones.
Unfortunately, that is a moment that all of us who live with furry must go through, sooner or later. But, How to say goodbye to a dog? How to say goodbye and at the same time convey all our love?
How to know that the dog's death is approaching?
The life of a dog can be prolonged, on average, between 12 and 16 years. Large dogs have a shorter life expectancy than smaller dogs, but all of them show practically the same symptoms as they age, among which are loss of appetite and weight, less interest in gambling, problems walking due to a disease that affects the joints (arthritis or osteoarthritis, for example), apathy, and the appearance of gray hairs (gray hair ) especially on the face.
When we suspect that our friend is not well, we must take him to the vet as soon as possible, who will examine it and give us the best diagnosis. In addition, it will be an opportunity that we will have to know, more or less, how much time is left, something that will help us to prepare ourselves.
How do I say goodbye to my dog?
It is not easy at all to say goodbye to someone who you know has only a few weeks or months to live, but it is very important that we make the most of all the moments that we still have to live together. As long as his body allows it, we can take him to the places where he likes to go the most.
At home, we will spoil it. We will give you lots of pampering, and we will let you be where you want. It is also very important that let's stay with him as long as possible.
Once the time comes, although it hurts us horrors, it is highly recommended that we be with him at all times. That we give him some toys and that let's show him that we are there. Well, that's what he's going to want the most: to see his family.
When it's finally gone we must go through the duel. Each has its own rhythm. Something that can help us a lot is talking with our family and friends. Expressing pain will help us feel a little better.
Much, much encouragement.
I am going through a very painful situation, my 8-year-old dog is sick with cancer, which the veterinarians tell us is a matter of time, she is a very loved dog at home, because she was always an important part of the family, now that I know that she is sick and that at some point she will leave me, all I want is to spend all the time she has left with her, unfortunately I work all day, but when I get home I don't want to detach from her, she sees me with a very sad little face. I know she was a great companion with whom I shared incredible moments, it is very difficult to accept her departure. I think that there are not even the words or a moment to say goodbye to a loved one.
