Hi Everyone,
Recently, I had to euthanize my last dog (I had four two years ago). He was 15 years old male, suffering from congestive heart failure. For more than a year, he had been on three medications, then increased to five meds per day. But his condition continued to deteriorate as expected by his vet. Watching his symptoms becoming more severe was increasingly stressful for me. He was constantly coughing, having difficulty breathing, and having nearly daily bouts of seizures (chest pain, falling, crying, feet kicking in the air). As a vegan and animal rights person, in my heart I wished he would pass peacefully on his own but that didn't happen. After much hesitation and internal debate with myself, I made the painful and impossible decision to put my best friend, whom I loved and cared for fifteen years, to sleep. Now, I feel that I made a horrific error. My dog was still well enough to live few more weeks or months. I'm plagued with guilt and regret. Going through the grief process, I'm searching for an animal communicator, who is a vegan and possesses a true spiritual gift. I know that such a person may not exist. I'm aware that there are plenty of scam artists in this arena. So, if anyone knows someone who fits those qualifications, I'd appreciate your referral. I'd also appreciate your feedback and advice on how to deal with the grief of losing a deeply loved animal.
