of us..tend to push food, I am as guilty as the rest,In a case where
there is hope for recovery that is a different matter, but in a case
when the agony is only being prolonged I have to wonder. I only say
this as I totally understand your despair at having to say good by
for now, It is heartbreaking, but ask yourself if you are doing this
for Lucy our yourself, Your love for her is so unconditional and she know it,
I think the best thing to keep at home is Buprenex,,, it is a great
pain reliever and makes them pretty dopy, I also use Acepromazine,,,
Yes on occasion Valium causes them to become excited, Is there a vet
you trust that can get you some buprenex to have at home,....
My heart is with you through this very sad time,

I have backed off the meds. Just steroid shot once a day, and I gave
her a metronidazole and her clindamycin once yesterday instead of
twice, in case the metronidazole helps her diarrhea or the
clindamycin helps the congestion. And nose drops every other
day. That's all, though.
I dont know what it means for her to show us she wants to stay. she
looks pretty awful. Does purring occasionally, or laying the in the
sun occasionally, or licking at food, mean that she wants to stay??
