"What can I do for my dying dog that is suffering?" and Yi's answer, 29.1.2.5 to 24.

Hello, I asked this question. The result did not make much sense in terms of this situation to me.

Ask the vet to put her down. That's nothing to do with reading it's just what anyone would do when they have a dog suffering and dying.

Why are you letting the dog suffer ?

 

[beekay]

He is cared for medically. He will die when he does. If it gets to a point where I should seek euthanesia, I will.

 

[Trojina]

You said he was suffering. He should not be suffering. You asked what to do ? For who's benefit does he go on suffering ? Yours or his ?


You will regret it if you allow this suffering to drag on. You will look back and wish you had acted sooner.

Dear bee Kay,

I am so sorry your beloved pet is dying. The hexagrams seem to say..
29.1. You have to accept the situation, no benefit in digging deeper to find a cure.
29.2. Your calm presence with the animal will be a benefit.
29.5 Nothing more you can do, letting nature take its course.
24. Return - Perhaps an encouraging suggestion that all of God’s creatures return to Him.

I have had dogs all my life and know a thing or two about the dying process. He isn't suffering a desease, he is just getting old. Still eats, goes for short walks and still has the play in the eyes. I appreciate your sentiment and concern though.

You might want to back off a bit. I have had dogs all my life and know a thing or two about the dying process. He isn't suffering a desease, he is just getting old. Still eats, goes for short walks and still has the play in the eyes.

And you haven't bothered to say any of that till now so are we meant to be psychic ?

All you wrote, all you wrote was this in your first post

The question

"What can I do for my dying dog that is suffering?" and Yi's answer, 29.1.2.5 to 24.

How do you think that sounds ? All you have said is you have a dying dog who is suffering ? Right, so on that basis what do you expect anybody to think. I have had dogs too and anyone who keeps a dog hanging on after such a description is being selfish. But then 4 posts later you give a bit more detail - well sorry for not mind reading, what do you expect !


I think saying 'back off' after you have written the absolute minimum, you have virtually given us nothing, is a bit unreasonable so yes I'm backing off but I will post a link to how to post threads on this forum for maximum help

 

[rosada]

So how exactly is he suffering? What medical care is he receiving?

I still think 29.2 and 29.5 are saying do what you can to make him comfortable and that there really isn’t any more you can do. Maybe 24. Return is a heads up that when he no longer wants to leave the house for walks that’s when you’ll know he’s ready to leave us too.

Please excuse my rant, sorry, it was OTT but all I had was this

"What can I do for my dying dog that is suffering?" and Yi's answer, 29.1.2.5 to 24.

I always regret letting my dog go on just that bit too long. It wasn't way to long but I feel maybe a day or two earlier would have been kinder. And over the years I have seen people who love their dogs be most cruel by not letting them go. I mean I can think of dogs I have seen in an appalling state, barely able to get outside to urinate. A few weeks ago I saw a woman with her dog in a pram because it couldn't walk and she held up the back legs so he could urinate...I mean I could see that dog was suffering, he was shivering and she said 'oh he's been like for years'.

So when I saw you wrote your dog was dying and suffering, with no other details, well I wondered why you would let him hang on. I think the reading suggests you are out of your depth in the sense that if he's being called home (24) then your attempts to keep his head above water (29.2)so to speak might work for a while (29.5) but be very clear in what you are seeing when you look at him (change patterns 29/30.

And BTW this

For who's benefit does he go on suffering ? Yours or his ?

..is most certainly not meant as an attack, not where I come from. it's what people ask one another, what friends ask one another when someone doesn't know whether to let an animal go or not. It's saying look inside your own heart (29) be very sincere and brave, be truthful , for who's benefit is this animal living ?

If it's not time to let the animal go you will know, you will see clearly (change patterns 29/30) if it is you will see clearly.

There's been some back and forth here about if you should put your dog down, or ....

I don't want to second guess your relationship or your care for your dog, but since you said that he (is it a he?) is suffering, I'm wondering how he is suffering? Is it just that he's slowed down and not getting around as easily as he used to. Or, as the word 'suffering' suggests, is he in pain, or ....?

Best, D.

 

[beekay]

No worries. You meant well.

 

[beekay]

No. He is just fading. He has meds for his joints. I don't think he is in any real pain just fading really fast.
