I have a sweet little girl that is a year and a half old. I have had her since she was 8 wks old. She had minimal use of her back legs when she came to me (birth defect) but was full of spunk with the brightest eyes you've ever seen. In the last few weeks, she has begun to lose any mobility at all in her hind legs, dragging everywhere, and now has lost the control of her bowels and bladder. Her eyes are losing their shine, but she is still so precious and loves me so much. Her "brother", that has been with her since she was a kit, has taken to following her around, nosing her legs. He seems sad. My question is this. How do I tell if she is in pain? How do I know if it's time to let her pass? I don't mind cleaning her up, and cleaning up after her. She isn't a candidate for "wheels", as she gets very upset if flipped over (like a turtle). But what do I look for, as in quality of life, vs quantity? My heart is breaking just thinking of it, and watching her struggle so. Thank you. [SM] [Posted in FML 6041]
