Hi Kathy It is so hard when it gets to this point. This is exactly where I was with Junior two weeks ago. His breathing was very labored. We knew he had a heart mumur. He lived a little over a year and a half of his diagnosis. I could tell he was miserable even at the vets office after she had given a sedative. It was not working because his heart was not pumping the blood. I called her back into the room . It was still difficult. I knew I did the right thing. I even have oxygen at home for my boyfriend who has COPD. For me there was no point in prolonging his misery. Only you know if your cat is suffering. Remember cats are good at hiding there symptoms.
Best of luck for you and your kitten. You have ben a good mommy. My prayers are with you.
