When to put down rat (sad update #4)

[FinchORI]

Hey guys. As I already posted, my elderly heart rat (Cookie) has a tumor. It gets bigger every day and her walking has turned into a wobble. Do any of you guys have experience with telling when it’s time to put down a pet? I really wish that she would just go in her sleep peacefully but I have a feel she will have to be euthanize due to her inability to move. Any advice or sympathy is greatly appreciated.

The only advice I've heard is, "Better a week too early than a day too late.". I'd ask my vet for guidance & go from there.

I emailed my vet and we have decided to put down cookie on Friday. Just wanted to let you guys know.

It's so very hard to say goodbye to them

Aww sorry to hear that. Spoil her and cherish the last little bit of time together.

Sorry you are dealing with this situation. It’s such a hard decision to make but it is often the kindest thing we can do for our pets when they’re no longer living their best life.
