A dog’s last walk: the difficult decision to say goodbye to a pet
On February 6, TikTok user @isaisabeja shared a video in which, through tears, she commented that she would have to face the difficult decision of euthanizing her dog named Madisson, who would turn 20 on February 14. “She is my lifelong dog, for me it has been very complicated to see how she has been in decline, if she needs surgery, then she will do it; If she has something in her hip, she gets the injections from it. There is nothing that can go against time, or aging, when you love your dog you try to give him the best quality of life,” she explained. “Tomorrow when we go to the vet we are going to have to make a certain decision. I don’t want to fall into the selfishness of saying: “I will do everything, even the impossible, to keep her here, to keep her alive,” and he asserted: “I don’t want to have you here suffering, but I don’t want you to leave either.” On January 9, he shared a video titled: ‘My last day on Earth’, simulating that the dog Madisson was narrating how it was that because she was very sick, she wanted euthanasia: “my mom picked me up, I told her no.” She was sad, that if she let me go, I would take care of her from heaven. I explained to him that letting go is also loving.” Eventually, Madisson died. Other people have documented and shared what her puppies’ last day was like before they were euthanized. For example, the TikTok account @corazondeperrodh shared the last walk of a disabled dog in a stroller. TikTok user @sofiagonzalezsl showed the last moments she lived with her dog, walking in the car, going for a walk and seeing her reaction when she tried chocolate for the first time. Also @ rockchick1006 showed her dog Walter taking a walk on the beach as a farewell. Ylenia Márquez, an academic at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics (FMVZ) of the UNAM, indicated that having dogs means a great commitment to them: “from the moment they acquire a puppy they must be aware that it is going to age, get sick and die, just as that happens to humans, and that in those moments it will need the company of its owners.” Regarding euthanasia, she indicated: “from a medical point of view, our obligation is to offer all therapeutic options to improve their quality of life, and if the disease is not curable we must be clear. The decision to ‘put them to sleep’ should always be that of the family members. Our task is to keep patients as well as possible and give owners space to make a decision.” And he explained that there are cases, which he described as unacceptable, in which people request euthanasia for their animals because they do not love them, or do not have the time or money to take care of them. He also indicated that there are those who abandon the dogs when they begin to die. get sick due to age. “For them, humans are their world, so the most important thing is to have a feeling of gratitude towards those living beings who have given us trust, affection and time. For dogs, once they give loyalty to their human, they build a bond that will never be broken. We should always respect that,” she assured.
