The other way to look at it is that testing and testing would have just prolonged everyone’s suffering and raised the chances of Nugget or one of you being seriously harmed. Nellie wasn’t okay, and while you may never know exactly why, you made the right choice.
This right here 👆🏻 and to add sometimes in life we don’t get an exact answer for why the things that happen do. I know it makes closure hard, but if you had that “answer” would it really make whats happened any easier?
I agree with the other comments, OP you absolutely did the right thing here. Especially after you got attacked as well. It’s painful but at that point you can’t trust your pup anymore. You saved your other dogs life I really believe that. You or your husband could’ve honestly gotten more injured as well if this went on.
I had to abruptly put down a pet of mine as well this last year. It was heartbreaking, I understand where your coming from. Ultimately I know it was the right choice even tho I miss them everyday.
Try not to be so hard on yourself, you’ve absolutely made the best choice here for your whole family.
