Re: Question about Euthanasia and my Grace

Nina, I am so sorry.  I do not think lack of fat makes veins smaller or harder to find, so though I may be wrong, I do not think that should be a concern.  You know how I am, though, I do not think I would do it at all since she does not seem to be in active pain.  I do think the annoyed look she has probably has to do with discomfort of some sort-- I have seen most of them get like that toward the end (Simon was like that both times that I thought he was dying). I personally would probably just keep giving her little bits of valium if it made her feel good and stretch in the sun and want a dog treat.  At least until things got worse.  And you could try to wait for the vet she likes then, at least.  Anyway, that is just me, and how I do things. I know that we are all different with death.  And I have not always thought that I did the right thing, either. Michelle
