Shadow crossing the rainbow bridge

We took my baby to the vet today. They suspect she has thyroid cancer and since she stopped eating two days ago, they recommend hospitalization or euthanasia. She is 18 and has stage 4 kidney disease and gets very stressed out from vet visits so we have decided that probably Thursday is her last day. I’m not ok. I’m a mess. We brought her home to have so she could have a nice few last days (with the help of Buprenorphine). I know a day too soon is better than a day too late. But please give me some comfort. She’s my baby.

Update

Shadow crossed the rainbow bridge and has gone to the great beyond. She was surrounded by love and free of any pain. I will always look for her peeking around the top of the stairs or hiding under the ferns in our back yard. I will always cook an extra chicken nugget for her. Thank you all for your kind words and internet hugs. Give your furry babies extra love from me.
