Jag minns dagen d\u00e5 vi fick reda p\u00e5 att v\u00e5r katt, Pumpkin, hade cancer. Det var en varm h\u00f6stdag och Pumpkin l\u00e5g uppkrupen p\u00e5 sin vanliga plats i solen. Min man och jag satt i soffan och pratade n\u00e4r vi m\u00e4rkte att Pumpkin verkade ha sv\u00e5rt att andas. Vi tog henne till veterin\u00e4ren och de gjorde n\u00e5gra tester. Resultaten visade att Pumpkin hade en tum\u00f6r i br\u00f6stet och prognosen var inte bra. Vi var f\u00f6rkrossade. Pumpa var bara sex \u00e5r gammal och vi \u00e4lskade henne innerligt. Vi best\u00e4mde oss f\u00f6r att ge henne det b\u00e4sta m\u00f6jliga livet s\u00e5 l\u00e4nge vi kunde och s\u00e5g till att hon hade gott om gosar, mjuka s\u00e4ngar och hennes favoritmat. Vi var f\u00f6rkrossade n\u00e4r hon gick bort n\u00e5gra m\u00e5nader senare, men vi uppskattar tiden vi hade med henne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Husdjurspersonens v\u00e4rsta bekymmer \u00e4r att sakna den k\u00e4ra v\u00e4nnen. F\u00f6r dem som upplevt f\u00f6rlusten finns det oftast en sm\u00e4rtsam historia att f\u00e5 om den \u00e4lskade hundens eller kattens slut. Fr\u00e5n en djurperson till en annan ser vi den extrema sm\u00e4rtan och hungern som h\u00e4nder efter f\u00f6rlusten. Det finns inget riktigt s\u00e4tt att s\u00f6rja och ta sig igenom processen, eftersom alla g\u00e5r den annorlunda resan med \u00e4lskaren. \u00c4lskaren kan representera en person, sl\u00e4kting, n\u00e4ra v\u00e4n eller l\u00e5ngvarig v\u00e4n. Hundar och katter g\u00e5r i genomsnitt 13 \u00e5r \u2013 tillr\u00e4ckligt med tid f\u00f6r att verkligen delta och sova i hj\u00e4rtat. De blir en del av hemmet och vardagen. Morgonrutinen kanske inte \u00e4r full utan att leka apport eller g\u00e5 p\u00e5 promenad med hunden eller mysa med katten.'<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Att best\u00e4mma sig f\u00f6r att s\u00f6va sin djurkamrat \u00e4r ett av de sv\u00e5raste besluten du n\u00e5gonsin kommer att beh\u00f6va g\u00f6ra f\u00f6r ditt husdjur. Som en k\u00e4rleksfull husdjurs\u00e4gare kan dock tiden komma n\u00e4r du beh\u00f6ver hj\u00e4lpa ditt husdjur att g\u00f6ra \u00f6verg\u00e5ngen fr\u00e5n liv till d\u00f6d, med hj\u00e4lp av din veterin\u00e4r, p\u00e5 ett s\u00e5 sm\u00e4rtfritt och fridfullt s\u00e4tt som m\u00f6jligt. D\u00f6dshj\u00e4lp f\u00f6r ett \u00e4lskat husdjur \u00e4r ett mycket personligt beslut och kommer vanligtvis efter en diagnos av en d\u00f6dlig sjukdom och med vetskapen om att djuret lider sv\u00e5rt. Dina val f\u00f6r ditt husdjur b\u00f6r baseras p\u00e5 den omsorg och k\u00e4rlek du k\u00e4nner f\u00f6r djuret. Viktiga saker att t\u00e4nka p\u00e5 inkluderar: Om du best\u00e4mmer dig f\u00f6r att ett slut p\u00e5 lidandet \u00e4r i ditt husdjurs b\u00e4sta, ta dig tid att skapa en process som \u00e4r s\u00e5 fridfull som m\u00f6jligt f\u00f6r dig, ditt husdjur och din familj. Du kanske vill ha en sista dag hemma med husdjuret f\u00f6r att s\u00e4ga hejd\u00e5, eller bes\u00f6ka husdjuret p\u00e5 djursjukhuset. Du kan ocks\u00e5 v\u00e4lja att vara n\u00e4rvarande under ditt husdjurs d\u00f6dshj\u00e4lp, eller att s\u00e4ga hejd\u00e5 i f\u00f6rv\u00e4g och stanna kvar i veterin\u00e4rens v\u00e4ntsal eller hemma. Detta \u00e4r ett individuellt beslut f\u00f6r varje medlem i familjen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vissa s\u00e4ger att de aldrig skulle fostra en \u00e4lskare eftersom det skulle vara f\u00f6r sv\u00e5rt att s\u00e4ga adj\u00f6 n\u00e4r varelsen adopteras, men ta detta val. Det kan ta sv\u00e5rt att s\u00e4ga hejd\u00e5 till den h\u00e4r varelsen du har umg\u00e5tts med, men det \u00e4r viktigt att t\u00e4nka p\u00e5 att genom att \u00f6ppna huset beh\u00e5ller du ett liv \u2013 och varje husdjur du fostrar \u00e4r ett nytt liv r\u00e4ddat. Du blir en viktig del av organisationen f\u00f6r att h\u00e5lla heml\u00f6sa husdjur genom att inte bara ge det speciella djuret k\u00e4nsla, utan genom att g\u00f6ra f\u00f6r\u00e4ndringen f\u00f6r alla varelser.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
