saying goodbye to Sparky

[purple_drazi]

he's falling apart - bits of his tail are falling off, he's developed an ich spot, he's all pine-coney, his colour is almost gone...he looks like hell.
I can't stand it any more so I went out and as per the pinned topic on euthanising a fish, got some alka-seltzer.
man that's some tough little fish. I'm up to 6 tablets.
....ok, he's gone.
rest in peace sparky.
"why did we bring him home with us from the fish store? because he wanted us to!"
crying again.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I know how hard it is to see a beloved pet deteriorate and be helpless to stop it. You were very strong to put him down; it must have been tough, but clearly he was suffering. I'm sure if he could, he'd have thanked you for putting an end to his struggle. Dropsy is a horrible disease.

 

[Kiarra]

You did a good thing.

I'm sorry for your loss. When my first Betta died I cried for weeks. But I accidently cooked mine...at least this isn't your fault. You did what you had to do. It was nice that he didn't have to suffer.

 

[purple_drazi]

I want to say thank you to everyone who replied, reading your notes really made me feel better.
It was a tough thing to do but it was obvious he wasn't going to pull through and I couldn't stand watching him falling apart any longer.

But I accidently cooked mine...at least this isn't your fault.
