I'm so sorry AgentQ9A. I just lost my service dog of 11 years to a brain tumor. I did minimal medical intervention, just medications to manage symptoms for as long as we could. He had his last seizure a few weeks ago on my birthday, and I had to make the decision to let him go.
I know how hard it is to say goodbye and how much guilt you feel about "Was I a good pet parent?" I assure you that you were the best parent to him that anyone in the universe could be. He didn't need a stable functioning human. He needed you. And you needed him. I'm sure he wouldn't have had it any other way. And I'm sure he loves you despite any deficiency that you imagine.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
