The family dog of 13yrs had to be put down today
She wasn't necessarily sick, but she had no muscle mass in her rear legs and so getting up, sitting down, etc was extremely hard for her and at times painful. She also gave up on food the past few days, so I guess we did her a favour.
It has been the first time in 21yrs that we haven't had a dog as we have always usally had 2. I am thinking it will be atleast 6months before we look at getting another. She was a Curly Coated Retriever, a relatively rare dog.
