The emotional roller coaster starts when you learn that your pet has been diagnosed with a condition that they will eventually succumb to.
It could be a very quick progression or it could advance over weeks to years. In addition to deciding whether or not to pursue treatment to prolong your pet’s life, you will likely be faced with the decision to end their suffering when their quality of life is gone.
There are a number of resources available to help in the decision making process, as well as support groups that can help cope with the anxiety, grief, pain, anger and sadness that you are likely feeling.
