Hi JaneL36324,

Oh, I'm so sorry, ill and dying pets are such a heartbreaking thing to deal with, and it can feel like our fault even when it really, really, really isn't. Helping with them, and with grief after pet loss, is a bit outside of our scope, but I would keep working with your family and a vet for support and extra resources <3

In addition to leaning on your family for support and whatever resources a vet could give you, you might also find what you need here: https://resources.bestfriends.org/artic ... ces-coping
