there are many wonderful vets that will come to your home to help
them cross, Make sure you find one that will pre sedate,I takes about
10 minutes longer but makes all the difference, I have been there
twice recently,
the first time big d did not have an IV so the vet gave hime a small
sedating injestion sub q that he did not even feel, He very
peacefully just dozed of safely in my arms, and then the vet
administered the rest and he just looked so peaceful and comfortable,
The last time last month my kitty was having resp problems, and that
is so ver very hard to watch, Two steps and he was out of breath, He
had a pulmonary embolism, He was at the emergency vets and so he had
an IV, the kind vet administered a tranquilizer and he becane very
comfortable, She wrapped him in a blanket and brought him to me... I
cried and said my last good byes and petted him and held him close
while the vet just used the iv to that last medication,, and he too
just gently crossed over,
It was of course harder on me and still is.
all my very good thoughts for you ,,,this si so very very hard, I
know. I am so very very sorry,

I've been hoping and praying that Tomi would somehow pull through
this, and last week he did seem to be doing better on the 2 prednisone per day.
But now, the last few days, he's been going downhill fast.
Today, he is out of breath just walking a few feet, and breathing
fast. I'm still able to coax him to eat a bit of baby food, but he
just threw up the last bit of food I gave him. He never throws up normally.
I guess I have to finally accept the fact that he's not going to get better.
I've been thinking about the whole euthanizing thing, but I honestly
don't know how I could do that to him. To spend the last hours of
his life doing to him what he hates the most (car ride and vet
visit), seems too hard for me to handle. I don't think i'm strong
enough to make that decision. To me it feels like I would be
personally ending his life.
I don't want him to suffer either, and i'm not sure at all how much
longer he will last when he is having difficulty getting enough
oxygen circulated due to anemia.
I still can't believe all this has happened. Two months ago I was
positive he would one day become a chunky, lazy old tom cat,
lounging in the sun. I would never have dreamed I would lose him
after only 2 and a half years.
Over the last 7 weeks, i've become even closer to him than ever as
I've been trying to nurse him back to health. He's always been so
loving and tolerant of my hugs and kisses. Life is going to feel so
empty when he is gone.
