We all know what a tough call this is. When I know in my heart that
they are passing, when I know that holding on is for me, then I help
them cross. It's the last gift of love we can give them. If you call
a house call vet, make sure and tell them that you want them to bring a
pre-sedative, they don't all use one. We're never ready Terrie, I'm so
sorry.
I just wanted to add, that I don't believe all animals need to
experience "the full cycle" as Belinda puts it. It might be so with
your Dukee, but he's had time to adjust to crossing and prolonging it
might not be what he wants or needs. I too believe in AC, (as you all
know). When my beloved Princess Grace's time was near I had an AC tell
me that she was annoyed that I was waiting to help her cross. She was
anxious to leave her failing body and she said she had "things to do"
on the other side.
My heart is with you,
Nina

Yes make him rice socks.. i use those with Angel,, Their body temps go
down. If it is a clot they are in severe pain and it is so hard but
a gentle crossing may be the true gift of love, It is hard, i am so
weak
about that but in the end I was holding on for me not them,,,It is such
a
tough decision you have,,,Many vets come to your home,,, pre
sedate,,,,and they comfortably drift off to sleep first,,,

Dukee is still
with us.
My eyeballs hurt and I'm exhausted. I'm not a young kit anymore. Used
to
be able to do all-nighters with kitties when they were ill.
I have been cat napping all night in here with him and the other
cats.
I can tell you he wants to go and hide in dark places prefers to lay on
cold areas. He is still alert.
I told my husband last night that I would send Dukee to the bridge.
He ask me a hell of a question like
"Does he have to go? Can we let him die at home?"
So for obvious reasons that makes me feel like crap... :(
Should I let Dukee hang out or should I take him to the Vet?
Just asking for your opinions on this.
Thanks!
