Jeg kan huske den dag, vi fandt ud af, at vores kat, Pumpkin, havde kr\u00e6ft. Det var en varm efter\u00e5rsdag, og Pumpkin l\u00e5 kr\u00f8llet sammen p\u00e5 sin s\u00e6dvanlige plads i solen. Min mand og jeg sad i sofaen og snakkede, da vi bem\u00e6rkede, at Pumpkin s\u00e5 ud til at have problemer med at tr\u00e6kke vejret. Vi tog hende med til dyrl\u00e6gen, og de tog nogle pr\u00f8ver. Resultaterne viste, at Pumpkin havde en tumor i brystet, og prognosen var ikke god. Vi var s\u00f8nderknuste. Pumpkin var kun seks \u00e5r gammel, og vi elskede hende h\u00f8jt. Vi besluttede os for at give hende det bedst mulige liv, s\u00e5 l\u00e6nge vi kunne, og s\u00f8rgede for, at hun fik masser af kram, bl\u00f8de senge og sin yndlingsmad. Vi var knuste, da hun gik bort et par m\u00e5neder senere, men vi v\u00e6rds\u00e6tter den tid, vi havde med hende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
K\u00e6ledyrspersonens v\u00e6rste bekymring er savnet af den k\u00e6re ven. For dem, der har oplevet tabet, er der som regel en smertefuld historie at f\u00e5 om den elskede hunds eller kats endeligt. Fra den ene dyremenneske til den anden ser vi den ekstreme smerte og sult, der opst\u00e5r efter tabet. Der er ingen rigtig m\u00e5de at s\u00f8rge p\u00e5 og komme igennem processen, da alle g\u00e5r ned ad den forskellige rejse med elskeren. Elskeren kan repr\u00e6sentere en person, en sl\u00e6gtning, en n\u00e6r ven eller en langvarig ven. Hunde og katte g\u00e5r i gennemsnit 13 \u00e5r - nok tid til virkelig at deltage og sove i hjertet. De bliver en del af hjemmet og hverdagen. Morgenrutinen kan ikke v\u00e6re fuld uden at lege apport eller g\u00e5 tur med hunden eller nusse med katten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beslutningen om at aflive dit k\u00e6ledyr er en af de sv\u00e6reste beslutninger, du nogensinde kommer til at tr\u00e6ffe for dit k\u00e6ledyr. Som en k\u00e6rlig dyreejer kan tiden dog komme, hvor du er n\u00f8dt til at hj\u00e6lpe dit k\u00e6ledyr med at g\u00f8re overgangen fra liv til d\u00f8d, med hj\u00e6lp fra din dyrl\u00e6ge, p\u00e5 en s\u00e5 smertefri og fredelig m\u00e5de som muligt. Eutanasi til et elsket k\u00e6ledyr er en meget personlig beslutning, som normalt tr\u00e6ffes efter en diagnose af en d\u00f8delig sygdom og med viden om, at dyret lider meget. Dine valg for dit k\u00e6ledyr b\u00f8r v\u00e6re informeret af den omsorg og k\u00e6rlighed, du f\u00f8ler for dyret. Vigtige ting at overveje inkluderer: Hvis du beslutter dig for, at det er i dit k\u00e6ledyrs bedste interesse at afslutte lidelserne, skal du tage dig tid til at skabe en proces, der er s\u00e5 fredelig som muligt for dig, dit k\u00e6ledyr og din familie. Det kan v\u00e6re en god id\u00e9 at have en sidste dag hjemme med k\u00e6ledyret for at sige farvel, eller at bes\u00f8ge k\u00e6ledyret p\u00e5 dyrehospitalet. Du kan ogs\u00e5 v\u00e6lge at v\u00e6re til stede under aflivningen af dit k\u00e6ledyr eller at sige farvel p\u00e5 forh\u00e5nd og blive i dyrl\u00e6gens ventev\u00e6relse eller derhjemme. Det er en individuel beslutning for hvert enkelt familiemedlem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nogle siger, at de aldrig ville tage sig af et k\u00e6ledyr, fordi det ville v\u00e6re for sv\u00e6rt at sige farvel, n\u00e5r dyret bliver adopteret, men tag dette valg. Det kan v\u00e6re sv\u00e6rt at sige farvel til det dyr, du har knyttet dig til, men det er vigtigt at t\u00e6nke p\u00e5, at du ved at \u00e5bne huset bevarer et liv - og hvert k\u00e6ledyr, du tager i pleje, er et nyt liv, der reddes. Du bliver en vigtig del af organisationen for at holde hjeml\u00f8se k\u00e6ledyr ved ikke bare at give det p\u00e5g\u00e6ldende dyr f\u00f8lelser, men ved at g\u00f8re en forskel for alle skabninger.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
