Kathy, I'm so very sorry for you. Knowing what I know now, rather than let her suffer or have to struggle to breathe, I would take the most humane approach and have the vet give her a sedative via catheter and euthanize. I'm sorry to sound hopeless, but we know that at this stage hope just doesn't work. If they have given her only 24 to 48 hours and her blood count is very low, there is really nothing that can reverse this. I didn't make it to the transfusion either with our little guy. He was dehydrated and I was finally made to realize that his time had come to go.
I really am so so sorry for what you are going through. It's just so painful.

We are heart sick but want to do what is best for her and I dont want to prolong her suffering. The vet said we have done a good job keeping her healthy. They gave her a water shot for deydration and a perscription for oxygen. I have never had any experience with this and would like to know other members thoughts on this. Should we get the oxygen for her? They said she would probably not survive a blood transfusion. Any advice would be appreciated. kathy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No Cost - Get a month of Blockbuster Total Access now.
