 I'm having a difficult time dealing with my dog Mecca's sudden illness. She is 8 years old, and was under the weather for only a few days, and now is at the vet for some very expensive treatments which may or may not save her. Her body is killing itself. I have such mixed feelings, I'd like to just take her home, because if she knows it's her time to go I feel it's wrong to keep her alive at the hospital. On the other hand, I don't want her to have a painful death. So part of me feels like putting her to sleep would be the right thing. I've had a little success raising my vibration on the issue, but as I said, I keep slipping back to upstream thoughts. I found that focussing on the thought that "she might get better" has helped somewhat today. I don't know, but I need some words of guidance right now.

Mecca is on her own journey. You can NOT make a wrong decision. There is, from my perspective, no blame to place anywhere. And that is good, because blame is not where you want to be, I'm feeling.
For what it's worth, animals understand pain far better than we do. I appreciate your desire that Mecca not suffer needlessly, but I feel that you would like to know that Mecca sees suffering differently than you do.
If she suffers, she understands. If you minimize her suffering, she also understands.
What Mecca, and her deliberate intention wants the most, is for you to act from your place of abundance, and not from fear of lack.
I can't even pretend to know what that is for you, MissMolly, but I'm thinking that you do! In some very profound way, Mecca wants you to know how powerful you are, and that you ARE the abundance she has desired to experience.
Again, you can do no wrong, just act from your place of abundance!

Abraham encourages family members of those who may close their gap through returning to pure positive energy to see them joyous and vibrant and frisky. Or to begin to move up the emotional scale in that direction.
You then become the satellite that's beaming well-being and one way or another, that gap will close. Either Mecca makes the decision to transition into non-physical or she decides to stay for awhile longer. And you get to feel better while Mecca is coming to her own conclusions.

Just wondering-----What is the life span of your breed of dog, typically?
That is a factor to consider.
A beloved vet, now retired, once said to me that when the pet's life is no longer a pleasure to you, or a pleasure to itself, then it is time....
For whatever the ailment is, has your vet experienced any recoveries?
If you think it is nil, and the vet thinks it is nil, then just like people, your dog might like to be at home for her passing. Even so, she may choose a time when you are not in the room to let go into nonphysical. That is the way animals show their consideration for our feelings.
If you can manage your vibration so that you are not seeing this as a tragedy, then you will make things much easier on her......
Great book...Animals in Spirit by Penelope Smith.

When my beloved dog Lucky became ill all of a sudden, I was not aware of the LOA. I did all the research I could and did what I thought was best for her in holistic treatments after the vet gave up. It gave us an additional 3 or 4 months which were well worth it as Lucky was in no pain. I prepared myself and her for her death by celebrating life as best as we could. For me that meant going to a Bed & Breakfast in Vermont which caters to dogs and their owners and spending seven days together doing what we both enjoyed most. Upon my return she was ready to cross over and did so in an absolute celebration of life. We were together when she crossed over naturally and I gave her my blessings before (the days leading to), during and after for crossing over. With that blessing it happened quickly and joyfully. I had carefully cleaned her and said to my mother who was also there: Now she is ready. Not 30 seconds after I said those words she crossed over and I could feel that she was spinning around me joyfully and giving me licks.
This was my experience and each experience and each person is different. What is my pie, may not be yours. I suggest you find what feels right to you. If the vet advises that she is close to crossing over then you *could* take her home and enjoy the time you have together and CELEBRATE your beautiful life together.

David and his ex just recently went through this type of experience with their beloved cat. Each person has his or her own way to feel better when it seems a pet is near transition. In their case the kittie's "Mom" wanted to be sure he didn't suffer, and was at peace with the decision to have the vet put him down, while David preferred bringing him home and waiting out effects of medication to be absolutely "sure" he could not make a meaningful recovery. Their cat was very elderly, as cats go, and as Pat said, that is certainly a factor. Every animal knows when it comes to physical (just as we do) that its lifespan is finite. The length of a life does not determine its quality. In the end David brought the cat home and held it in his arms until he peacefully left his body. That was the "right way" for David, but if they had put him down, that would have been no less "right". No matter what happens, Mecca's IB will be served.
Abraham's most important message in this regard is that there is no "right" or "wrong".
It's all a co-creation, and as long as you follow your guidance, you cannot do anything "wrong". I think you can take comfort just from knowing that you cannot possibly make a "wrong" decision. Let that take all the pressure away, and then you can flow with it, knowing that no matter what, it's all good.
Whenever we are faced with decisions, I think what makes us feel the more paralyzed is that we might somehow screw things up - and when someone we love, human or animal, is involved, the pressure is even greater.
So let yourself off the hook and know that whatever way you flow, it's the right way.
And if Mecca revives and comes back to play with you some more, great. If not, you'll both be fine.

Thanks everyone this has all been just what I needed. My girl has actually improved a lot and is laying in bed next to me right now. And I actually got a refund from the vet! So we are continuing our jouney together, and she is guiding me as she always has.

I have been traveling since April and have had 4 sets of friends house sitting as I live in the Caribbean. One cat got sick badly, one got hit by a car, went to the vet and day 3 post surgery ran out the window and has been MIA. My beloved dog got very ill and is healing but whoa, it's been a rough road. Each pet sitter has been amazing and loving my pets. I cannot wait to see them all in 2 weeks.
I focus on feeling joy and happy feelings. I look at their photos and even talk to them telling them I am safe and they are loved and I am coming home soon. I imagine the night I fly in and my dogs run into my arms.
Go with your gut. Ask your pet if he/she wants to come home. Feel what comes to your intuition. Much love..
