I swear, there is nothing more upsetting than watching your childhood pet grow old.

My dog is twelve is just struggling to walk or get up around the house and it hurts me to the core.

I don’t even I want to adopt another dog as I feel like I’ll just replacing her and I’ll just go through the process of losing them again in another decade or so.

I got extremely depressed during the winter of 2022 when she got sick and had to be hospitalized, I thought she was going to die but she pulled through and is still with us.

Seeing her shaking or struggling to walk, just reminds me of how little time I have left with her and thinking about it drives me to tears.

Now here we are, summer 2024, and I don’t know how much longer I have with her?

I know I’m going to be extremely f*cked up when she does eventually die or I have to put her to sleep.

I just don’t know what I’m going to do?

I had a mental neeakdown today. I knew for a while now that I am not the type of person who is able to adequately handle having pets. I do not have my own pets.

However, I don't have any other options than to live with people who do have pets. I take care of what I can with the pets, but I am disabled. I am physically diaabled and I am autistic. I get too overwhelmed with the difficulty oh pets because of this, and that's before I factor in that they pee on my stuff.

I can't train cats. I do not have the energy. I am so tired from walking the dog who is the easiest of the three to help. And I can't even do that sometimes. I so often miss being homeless on the street with only two meals a day because somehow living with these cute precious soft furry beans that I love is so difficult for me that I am having more breakdowns and health issues here than I did when I had nowhere to live but no pets.

The panic in the post about my cat refers to how I was about to take him to the emergency vet for a bump on his lip because I was haveing a panic attack. Again, sorry to worry anyone unnecessarily.

I was advised by non-panic riddled people to give it a day or two, one of which was a vets assistant.

if ur concerned about ur animals please take them to the vet. U may think it is a stroke or just a bug bite but it could b something worse. u don’t actually know what it is 4 sure.

Sorry to worry you, I just needed to vent my anxiety. My cat’s fine today, caught him rubbing his face on plastic which was the culprit. My rats are old, a vet will advise me to either put her down or let her pass at home and I’ve already decided to do the second.

I honestly didnt think anyone read my posts. Dont worry, I will absolutely call a vet if I run into anything I haven’t delt with before.
