Me and my husband have had our sweet Dixie for almost 7 years. Last week she started throwing up and after draining our savings on tests we found out she has Addison’s disease. To manage her disease it’s $150 a month for her shot and there’s no guarantee she will ever be the fun loving mischievous dog she once was. We’re finally in a good place to start saving for a house and with a one month old and me not working any extra expenses just aren’t possible. Not to mention if we miss one month of shots she will go downhill and fast. I’m struggling because even though this disease is genetic and was something that would appear eventually but it’s brought out by stress. Our poor dog was so stressed when we brought our baby girl home she started losing her hair which is one of the symptoms of the disease. I guess I feel guilty. We always knew she wouldn’t be around forever but this isn’t what we wanted for her. We wanted to give her the perfect last day full of cheeseburgers and chic fil a French fries. And with a newborn taking up all my time my husband is having to deal with this alone and it kills me I can’t be there as much as I would like to be. I feel like I’m having to choose between my baby and my dog and obviously I would choose the baby but it’s still not fair. Idk I’m rambling at this point. 😕 Our house is gonna feel empty without her in it and I just hope she knows how much we love her and how important she is to us.
