Kristi,
I'm glad the torb helped. You are right. You'll both know when the time is right.

i gave him torb 1mg last night (for some relief of his discomfort and mild sedation)and it defiantely helped with his jitteriness. she said i could do 2 mg if i wanted, but prepared me that it might in turn help him pass. that would have been ok, but here we are this morning and he just had a taste of some junk canned food, and his favrite food ever- purina one kitten soaked with a little warm water and topped with tuna flavored "cat dressing". don't ask how i found that recipe out as his favorite- you all understand how "we" are. Maybe tonight won't be the right time either- i'm not planning it anymore- i've learned my lesson, when he and i are ready we'll know and then it won't be such a tormenting descision to make. Anyway i'm debating on giving him more- he looks comfortable but i'll be gone for a long day of work (10-6)- what to do, what to do ....these times are always so tough.
Thank you for bearing with me everyone he's only my 2nd leukemia to get this sick, the other if you remeber was Tai-Tai she had a PCV of less than 8 and was turning blue because she couldn't get enough oxygen- so that was a different type of descision-much easier- she was obviously suffering and in need of help to pass.

Subject: Re: yes-got injections
I understand. What you are saying makes sense now. It is bad that he is
not responding at all to the dex. I am really sorry. If you have not reached
the vet, oral valium, if you have any in the house, can calm them in their
last stages. I have given a whole human dose pill before, in the very end
stages. I think it acts sort of like morphine-- calms and also makes the passing
faster. As a warning, though, no vet has ever advised me to do this. I have
done it on my own.

thanx michelle- sorry i was unclear- yes he did get dex & depo. he
actually got dex 2 x today. my vet wanted me to do it every 12 hrs. he will have a
third injection tomorrow morning. the fact that he has actually gotten worse
even with the injections on board is why my bfriend and I haved decided on
tomorrow night, actually since i wrote about the descision about tomorrow
night he has gotten increasingly uncomfortable and is starting to look slightly
distressed, i was just about to call the vet at her home and ask if i could
give him something slightyl sedative.
