Ahh sh!t man sorry to hear that! It's never ever an easy time. Beautiful dogHad to put my Big Boy down yesterday.
This was my 6th dog since childhood, and aside from my first doggie's passing (I was still a kid back then), this one hurts the most.
He was awesome.

When I first got Beckett, I tried to change the type of litter he used. The message in the middle of my bed the next day let me know that I made the wrong decision. Haven't tried to change it since.
So sorry to hear. Thoughts and prayers are with you.Had to put my Big Boy down yesterday.

Sorry to hear.
Just about one month ago on a Friday night, I walked this little guy (our 4 1/2 year old Maltese) for the last time before bedtime. When we came in, I noticed he was squinting his right eye. I asked Mrs SAM to look, and she saw a spot on his eye. The next morning we checked him closer, and saw mucus sticking to a spot on his eye just above the pupil - and it was clearly bothering him. Mrs. SAM took him to our vet, and learned he had two abrasions on his cornea. She was given an ointment and an e-collar (the lampshade!), and a recheck in a week. After the week, his recheck showed one scratch had healed, but the other had ulcerated. They recommended third-eyelid-flap surgery, in which they suture his third eyelid (one below his lower outer eyelid) to his upper eyelid, to have it serve as a bandage. He came home the third day, and for two weeks he had a regimen of antibiotic eyedrops and a drop of blood serum 4 times a day, and only a 50% chance this might save his eye. Poor little man was so uncomfortable for those 2 weeks with the e-collar and the drops and the sewed-up eye, and moped all the time. We had to hand feed him most of the time. After two weeks, the stitches came out, and WOO-HOO, the ulcer was healing. He would keep his eye! Mrs SAM is still giving him steroid eye-drops twice a day to help reduce and heal the scar, but once the e-collar came off, Finlay became his usual playful self. She did great work giving him the lion's share of his care - we call her Nurse N now.
She also took this picture of him a couple of days ago - if you look at his right eye, you can see a small oblong grey spot just above his pupil - that is what is left of the scar.
Fostering would be hard for us. We would have 50 dogs!
Tell me about it. The wife and 6 year old is asking for a second dog already. We don't even have the first one yet. Good thing I love dogs.
