Nekhbet Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm sorry but just watching that animal try and get around is horrific. Yes keep it alive for as long as it can - heart barely works, it cant walk or breathe properly. Nawwwww gold star for keeping her alive! I'm sure they'll all feel so proud watching her suffer to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekhbet Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I watched two videos before I had to turn it off. That's cruelty. Plain and simple. she can barely walk and wheezes constantly trying to get air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I won't watch the videos as that sort of thing both angers and upsets me. I know that the people think they are doing the right thing and that makes them feel better about themselves, but in these instances it's kinder to put them down. It's like that Chinese Crested that has such mouth deformities it has trouble eating. There ar so many other dogs that need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantis Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I haven't watched the video, but after reading all the posts I don't want to. If a dog is suffering & can't be cured, do the right thing & send it to the Rainbow Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumabaar Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 A 'perfect dog'??? I assume as close to a stuffed toy while stlli breathing. Probably perfect for some weirdos out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeelerLove Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I wasn't sure what to think when I first saw it, which is why I posted it up here - I was interested in what others would say. They say that she 'isn't in pain' and that's why they haven't pts. If it was me, I would have pts, in pain or not. Sure she 'looks' happy but I agree with what others have said, she can't breathe properly and can barely walk. What type of life is that for a dog?

Nekhbet Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) She just turned 6 months old ... what a life. When a dog has to toss up eating a treat or breathing you know it's cruelty. Edited February 15, 2013 by Nekhbet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipup Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Poor thing. If they really want to do the right thing they should pts.dogs are so forgiving and can put up with so much discomfort but that doesn't mean they should have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disintegratus Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I agree, I can't stand it when people make themselves feel better at the expense of animals. Poor dog, pts already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have a disabled dog... but nothing like poor Sassy. When Pickles first came into care, it was under the proviso that she may not come good enough to have a decent quality of life. Her disablity involves not having much feeling in all 4 legs, meaning that she really has to concentrate on walking rather than it being a natural instinct - she actually had to learn to walk. She still walks like Steady Eddie, but her sheer determination to enjoy life to the fullest means that she's doing just fine so far. I probably would have made the decision to give Sassy her wings long ago. Her issues are so severe that it seems cruel to have her battling so hard all the time. T.

pebbles Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I always wonder about that statement 'not in any pain'? How do they know? Friends of mine had an horrific incident after the Ash Wednesday fires. Couldn't find one of their little dogs when they had to get out in a hurry. 2 days later they were back at their property, lost their house. While looking around their little dog came out of the rubble wagging his tail. Poor little fellow was burnt all over his body but he was still happy to see them, wagging his tail despite the agony he must have been in. Friends still get so upset when they think of him. They had to get the police to shoot him as when they tried to touch him, he screamed. I've had a few dogs with fairly bad injuries and know there's pain involved but they don't show it like we would. So how does anyone know if a dog is in pain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
