Can I just say thank you all for your responses.
We did visit our baby last night and to be honest was horrified by what I saw. I could see no improvement in her at all and if anything because she was being pumped with something to reduce the swelling on the brain, she looked worse.
We tried to feed her, which within several minutes she brought back up. We wanted to see her out of the kennel and then we realised the extent of the problem. She could not stand at all, still listing, tongue hanging out one side, dribbling.
The vets were prepared to give her another couple of days. That wasn't my baby girl there, it was a vegetable. She didn't realise we were there, the vets were absolutely certain that she had 2 strokes, the 2nd one being major. They were certain that part of her brain had been affected, even when they could get her to stand up she was walking around in circles (this had happened during the day), we don't think she could hear us.
Jess was put to sleep at 7.30 last night. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and have spent the whole night thinking that I have made the wrong decision, we should have given her longer, but how much longer do you give them. What I saw last night wasn't even 10% of my baby. We were told that she probably wasn't in any pain.
What I will say is that the nurse and vet were brilliant. They didn't put any pressure on us, I wanted to bring her home for a day, they were prepared to do this and even come out and administer the injections etc but in hindsight this would have made it even harder to let her go.
Once again, thanks for all your comments. I am absolutely devastated and guess have all the feeling that other people have who love their pets very much, still doesn't make it easier, but I need to keep on thinking she is in peace now, no more pain, suffering. I will miss you forever Jess, you were my beautiful baby
