I had to take Midnite to the vet again today. We realized late last week that he was doing poorly and needed to be seen. The results were not good. He once again has kidney stones but this time he has a bunch of them and they are not operable. The poor little fellow is in a lot of pain, I have medication to keep him comfortable but we have made the sad decision to put him down. DD is inconsolable, DH is not happy either but realizes that this is for the best. I haven't told my son yet but will do that tonight. I'm bringing Midnite in tomorrow afternoon, it's not going to be easy for me but someone has to do it.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

We had to put down our beloved 12 year old Golden Retriever last year. My husband and kids had to leave the room, but I stayed and held her head. It was one of the saddest things I've ever done, but I know she was in pain and ready to go, so it was a kindness.

I'll be thinking of you.

I am very sorry. That is so hard.

Oh, I'm so sorry! My husband had a single small kidney stone and was in severe pain despite meds, so I can just imagine what Midnight was going through. And what you all are.

I'm so sorry. They're like family. When my last little one died (rabbit) they had just come to ask me if I wanted to try for surgery, but he died on the table while the vet was speaking to me. I didn't have to make that choice; my thoughts are with you.
