What do you do to comfort a dying dog that doesn't want to be touched?
My dog had a stroke. She had one last year also. This seems much worse than last time. Vet say wait it out. She doesn't want to be touched, to get up, to eat, to drink, to be around us or the other dog. How do you comfort a dying dog that doesn't want to be bothered?
I'm starting to think she has 9 lives. Holding onto hope she will improve. Hard not just sitting with her though.
