Palladia info? side effects?

Your video made me cry but smile at the same time. It's natural to feel guilty. It's the price we pay for being human and for loving these wonderful creatures so much. You gave Trucker a wonderful life and truly saved him when he needed you. If you hadn't have been able to rescue him his life surely would have been a painful and much shorter experience. As hard as it is for us to make the final decision, Trucker will be free from pain and be able to run and play with all of the wonderful boxers that have gone before him. Give him a kiss on the head for all of us. You and your husband will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I know it is one of life's most difficult decisions, but it is the right one. You have done everything you can. You did the surgery, you tried the pallidia. There is nothing left but to give him some peace. My heart goes out to you and your family. The video was sad and heartwarming at the same time. You gave Trucker some much needed love when he needed it most. You are doing the same now. May God bless you all.

Without you, Trucker would not have had a chance. He has had a great life these last five years - years he would not have had without you and the rescue. I don't know how to express this properly, but I really believe rescue folks seem to get more years out of the years they get from our dogs, if that makes sense. What you have experienced with Trucker - the bond you formed - is just as strong, if not stronger, than many people get to experience with their boxers in twice the time.

Knowing that you shared the gifts of time, love and friendship with Trucker will help get past the pain you are experiencing now. He knows everything you have done for him since the day he arrived. He'll be watching over you...helping to guide the next boxer that needs you right to your door.

Hug him, love him, spoil him rotten for the next few days. Even knowing that his journey ends this week can be seen as a gift, if you look at it from that angle.

XOXO

You are doing the right thing, setting him free from his suffering. I am keeping you and Trucker in my thoughts.

Thru tears I type this. It is a curse and a blessing. Knowing you can help him to a better place where there is no cancer, no pain. I see so many humans suffering and nothing can be done. You are going to help him go with some dignity left. Treasure these last few days, love him as much as you can and everytime you want to cry think of something silly or funny that he did to help you smile. Try to keep positive for him, he doesn't know he's since and he doesn't want you to be sad. When it's over you heart will be broken but in time it will heal.

Know we've been there, we understand. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Bless you for giving Trucker an amazing life. The time he spent with your family was a blessing to all.

I couldn't make it past the one minute mark of the video. My tears were too heavy to see it and I didn't want to miss anything. I will have to go back at a later time and try again.
For some unknown reason we have been given the gift of helping our beloved pets transition from painful conditions and terminal illness. I am grateful we have this choice but saddened that we have to make it at times.
As hard and devastating as it is for us to make this decision I truly believe we are helping to return them to their perfectly healthy selves.
I've had to make the decision twice and both times I suffered immensely. The only thing that got me through was realizing that while they were alive I always wanted to take pain and sadness from them. I believe it is my mission in life to always keep my pets safe, happy and healthy.
I already know that my two girls now will eventually break my heart. Their passing in whatever way it happens will crush me but they will reap the rewards of my pain by never suffering again. As bad as it is for the humans left behind the joy of knowing they are okay at The Bridge brings comfort.
Figuring out if and when to make the decision is sometimes just as difficult as experiencing their actual passing.
So many of us here support you in spirit and wish there was something we could do to ease your pain.
You and Trucker are in my prayers.

I've been following Trucker's story and I'm so sorry that it has turned out this way. The hardest part of loving a pet is having to say goodbye. You have been Trucker's angel since the day he walked into your life and you will continue to be his angel until his very last breath. I think you are right when you say he is in pain. Who could have a leg like that and not be in pain. Please don't think of it as walking him to his death. You are taking him to the other side, the side where there is no more pain, or hurting. The rainbow bridge is a place where our beloved pets wait for us, playing each day in the freedom of their new healthy bodies, without pain or suffering. You are giving Trucker the greatest gift of all, you are releasing him from all that hurts. My heart goes out to you at this very difficult time.

Elaine I'm so sorry. You did everything you could for Trucker from the day you brought him into your home. You both put up one heck of a fight to try to get him through this. It's not easy, I know... I wish I could give you some advice on how to get through this but I was an absolute mess for months when I lost my boy. The only comfort I had was knowing he wasn't in pain any longer and he wasn't alone for the journey to the bridge. If we could only all be so lucky when our time comes- to be surrounded by those we love....
Thinking of you and your family in this difficult time.

Thanks everyone. The last couple days Trucker seems so tired. He gets up two or three times a day to go outside and go potty but that’s it. He wants to be with us but once he gets there he just finds a soft place to sit and sleeps. He often falls asleep with his head up and then it bobs around. He just seems exhausted so I’m glad he will get to finally rest. I just pray he goes to sleep peacefully and without being scared or feeling pain.

Elaine,my heart just breaks for you, Trucker and your family, like others my tears poared the whole way through the video and even harder at the last photo, poor boy.
What can I say but God be with you all and that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
