Thanks Cherie,
I just called my Internist's office and they will be able to squeeze me
in tomorrow at 9:30. I know you all know how this feels. The final
moment, the realization that there's nothing left to do, nothing left to
try. How can a heart break over and over again?

Nina,
I'm so sorry you're going through this right now, it's so hard.
If you're worried about them finding a vein, you could request
that they inject her parenterally, that's how my vet helped Ninja
- no worried or stress about finding a vein and using an IV, just
a shot.

isn't

comes to
this... I just feel helpless and humble.
