Zaphod just turned 5 years old and was completely healthy until last week. He started vomiting, and until today we thought it was treatable. But today he hasn’t been able to keep down food or water and seemed to be in pain, not even controlling his ability to go to the bathroom. Just a few hours ago we found out that it was aggressive cancer, and we had to decide on euthanasia in a matter of hours.
I can’t help but feel incredibly guilty. Should I have brought him home? I feel empty and lost. Everything in my home reminds me of him. We just celebrated his birthday.
I need to hear that someone has gotten through this before.
