I have to say I am not sure how to respond to this. Our first Rottweiler whom we ever had was really ill last year late May. He wasn't eating for 2 days and on the 3rd day we made some really good food for him and he ate happily so we assumed he was getting better and he stayed on until he started loosing weight drastically although he was still eating fair amounts of food. He didn't want to move and eventually we took him to the vet and after a few tests and a large bill at the end of the day we were told Simba has severe kidney failure which regarding his age and condition it may be impossible to save him, the vet did say he could keep Simba over night and see if he improves on a drip etc. we said alright so he stayed, and when we went there the next day Simba was going worse than the previous day and moaning in pain every few minutes so we decided (after many tears and painful reality checks) it would be humane to put him out of his suffering (he was 14+ years old). My dad (whose dog it was) couldn't bear to go into the room with Simba while they put him down however he did say goodbye with a flurry of tears. I stayed with Simba longer but not until the very last moment because I myself was cowardly and I couldn't see it happen. I didn't see the vet inject him, I left just before it. If I found out that the vet had not put him down I would have been happy (if Simba miraculously recovered) however, at that point in time, would we have had the right to take Simba back because we requested him to be euthanised after all? I know this didn't happen because we got Simba's ashes after they cremated him and we spread them under a tree. I still regret that I didn't stay with Simba while he slipped away into bliss, I was a coward. However I don't think that we made the wrong decision Simba was suffering beyond belief, it was painful to see him that way, and it's unfortunate but those last few gruesome days is how I remember Simba and I would hope nobody see's their dog go through that, ever
