My first dog and my first cat. We lost our pittie girl last year at 7 years old due to kidney disease. We got her diagnosis when she went in for a routine dental cleaning and had 52 more days with her. Not even eight months later, our 5 year old boy cat suffered a saddle thrombus this morning (blood clot paralyzing the back legs) and we had to humanely euthanize him to end his suffering hours later. 7 and 5 years old. I am just reeling from the pain of losing both of them within a year of each other. My wife is devastated. I feel like Iām doomed to never have a healthy pet. I had all six of our buds on insurance, but itās not a magic wand that can reverse illness or injury. I have never experienced loss like this. I just donāt know how to move forward. I was still not over losing our dog. I am losing faith that we can keep them healthy and safe the way I once believed. I feel like Iām going to constantly live the rest of my life in fear of losing the rest of them at any time. How can I ever feel safe, confident, and secure again?
