one of my vets suggested, years ago, that i just fill a 2-litre soda bottle with hot water and wrap it in a towel....
i try so hard to respect what they need as they're preparing to leave, even when what i really want to do is just hold them close and infuse them with all the love i have.... but that's not always what they need.... i agree that oftentimes their spirits go on before their bodies do--i remind them that they don't need that worn-out body any longer, and that they can let it go and pick out a brand-new one at the bridge.... i've heard that sometimes valium can have an opposite effect when they're getting ready to pass, and can cause even greater agitation--it's happened with a couple of cats i know of, so has pretty much scared me off trying it.... (tho the last time i'd reached the point of getting the valium out, when i got back upstairs with it, martha had passed on her own--i'd only been gone a minute or two....)
