Yes, watching them struggle or gasp for breath is just unbearable. I've used Klonopin to ease the fear or struggle when a cat is dying. It really helps and it is used for cats because I checked with my vet. It's like Valium. Have any of you used this for dying cats? I have a prescription for myself, so I always have it on hand. Ace promazine would have to be gotten from a vet wouldn't it??
We all hope our furry ones will died peacefully at home, preferably in their sleep, but as you said, it seldom happens that way. Same for people..... We all hope to die peacefully at home.
