My lovely Minxy is gone and I miss her. snip

But back to hard reality, her rapid loss of sight left me with but one
hard decision -I could not bear to see her unable to play or move
freely
so I chose a warm quiet end for her -rather that than the cruel unseen
wheels of a car or cold, smothering embrace of the sea.

Sorry to hear it. That *is* a hard decision to make.


And a cruel, self-centered, unnecessary and just plain wrong one.

From his other post I got the impression that the blindness was caused by
some disease. Why make an animal go through all the stages of a fatal
disease?


It depends upon how fast the disease progresses and how much
the animal is actually suffering. Medical science doesn't necessarily
have all the answers even for people - for animals lot's of the time
they're pretty clueless.
