We have had a very rough few days. Our little Sammy is no longer with us. It has been devastating. We took him to the vets on the 12th and they told us that he was very close to death. He had a massive tumor on his spleen and...

I am heartbroken

Barb @abbey19 (3106) • Gold Coast, Australia 30 May 09

A month ago I posted a discussion about my dog Penny who was sick; sadly, I lost her 2 weeks ago. Her liver was failing, and she progressively got sicker and sicker; our vet could do nothing for her, so we made the heartwrenching...

Putting a Pet Down

ihearttinytim @ihearttinytim (614) • United States 14 Mar 09

[b]How does one make the horrible decision of euthanizing a beloved pet? I have never had to make such a decision, but I have had several friends who have, and I just do not see how they have the guts to make such a decision. I...

So Sad

My friend's dog was just euthanized, and she is going through a difficult time. She has had this dog for quite a while, and I know what it is like to lose a dog that you have grown up with--a best friend. I know how heartbreaking...

If you tease a dog and it bites you should the dog be put to sleep?

AnakSuNamun @AnakSuNamun (2084) • United States 24 Apr 08

To my opinion,in this case it's purely your fault and you should be the one responsible for your own actions. When it comes to people committing crimes,they get away with self-defense,so why do animals have to suffer because of...

One of my husband's cats is old and not doing very well. She has terrible arthritis and hip dysplasia. She can't walk in a straight line. She has these awful fits of scratching where both her back legs will go like crazy and...

Would you put your dog down if it bit someone?

ali136 @ali136 (199) • United States 21 Oct 06

We recently put our older dog down because he bit a visiting friend. It was a tough decision, but with a toddler and a baby on the way, we didn't want him hurting anyone else.
