With a heavy heart, we are discussing euthanasing Roxy tomorrow. Since Tuesday, her aggression has gone from a serious growling to actually attempting to bite my chihuahua, one of my children and even myself, last night. Im not sure if this is a combination of medication side effects, being in pain, or becoming depressed. She has also been refusing to eat or drink for the past two days. She is nearly always staring with her ears back and lips snarled, growling at anyone who walks past. Even if this is from her being in pain, Im afraid of her new habits. I cant compromise the well being of my kids and other pets and take the chance on her aggression becoming a habit, because we have a long painful road ahead if we choose to fight. With 6 weeks of painful healing to look forward to, plus a surgery to amputate her leg (IF she even heals enough for that to be an option) and the pain associated with that.. I dont see this getting any better for my sweet Roxy. If she will attempt to bite me aggressively, potentially could severely harm my young children and has fallen into a depression.. I am searching my heart for the strength to make the choice of putting her out of her misery. Im extremely heartbroken. I have said Id fight as long as she would.. with her refusing to eat, becoming aggressive & being depressed, I feel it may be time to let her go. Prayers, please. Im proud of my girl. She gave a damn good fight. She deserves to rest, painlessly.
