Question: Euthanasia or natural death!? Painful immediate decision!.!?
I have an animal I love very much with a fatal illness!.
I thought I would let her live her time, and then pass!.
It is a beautiful foot long goldfish I have taken care of for many years!.
However I came home today, and she has thrashed about
and ripped part of her tail off!. Perhaps from pains of her illness!.
I took care of her injuries that night, but the next day I came home to her having injured herself again!. Large pieces of her once beautiful tail sit on the bottom of the tank!.
I am torn!.!. Do I let her live out her life to the end!? Do I
euthanize her!?
She is still conscious, looking at me!. I don't know what to do!.
Do I end her life!? Or let it end naturally!?
We only have one life to live!.!.!.
I need some opinions for I cannot decide on my own!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
ask yourself if you would want to live like that!.
If you wouldn't- put her down and out of her misery!.
It's always tough to put a loved pet down no matter the species!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I suggest you figure out what she is injuring herself on and remove it from the tank!.
The tail will grow back!.

Put her down!.!.!.!. She's in terrible pain, I would!. I couldn't bear having to see her suffer like that!. It'll be easier for her, she won't have to suffer, and you won't either, you won't have to see her in so much pain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This sounds very controversial but I think you should let her rest and euthanize her!. We only have one life to live and that should be one we remember with the best of our hearts not with overwhelming sadness shadowing our best memories of our friends, lovers, and in both our cases pets!. Just remember that no matter which decision you make, it will always be happy memories you keep in your mind with your pet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
? I regret having my loved pets put to sleep and will only allow them to die naturally!. The only exception is extreme pain!. You could prepare a large comfortable tank with no dangers in it and allow nature to take its course!. You may feel better in the long run!.

Sorry to hear about your pet!.
I just can't stand the thought of helpless creatures suffering!.
I had to have the vet euthanize our hamster not to long ago so I guess you know what my answer is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
MY GREATEST GIFT TO GOD NOT LOSING MY VIRGINITY
" Sex always has consequences!. When Hitler's mother OPENED
her legs
that night, she UNKNOWLINGLY CONSEQUNTLY AND effectively
canceled out the spreading of fifteen to twenty million
other pairs
of legs
6 million Jews and 5 million other ethnic origins not
counting the thousands
killed by German soldiers in Russia and Western Europe!.
NOW THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU LOSE CONTROL BONDING CAN
SEPERATE OTHER LOVE FROM THE WORLD AND PUTTING YOU TRUST
ON PRODUCTS THAT PREVENT BIRTH IS THE SAME THING WHEN YOU
PUT YOUR TRUST ON THOSE THAT BROKE OR WILL BREAK YOUR
HEART IT COMES AS A BIG SUPRIZE!.!. "Www@QuestionHome@Com
It's considered humane!.!.!.
to euthanize an animal in pain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
put her out of her misery for crissakes - she's obviously in stress and you're just prolonging the inevitable!. Don't be cruel - and at this point, it's just cruel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Quality of life is another consideration!. What good will it do her to live another three months if she keeps injuring herself!?
Euthanasia is never an easy decision, but i would take the animal to the vet for their opinionWww@QuestionHome@Com
If you were in her tank, would you want to stay!? This fish is trying to die!. That's why she injures herself!. Help her!. Let her go!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
As the immortal Yogi Berra once said: "Don't get me right, I'm just asking!."
I sincerely hope you are 8!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
