Tracy, I'm so sorry Herbie had to leave you, but it sounds like you gave him the only gift he needed by letting him go. Gentlest of Bridge journeys to him, and hugs to you.

Herbie was in a lot of distress at home and so I took him to the emergency vet (also the place that just saw him on Friday), even after being stabilized in oxygen, he continue to go down hill. His heart was enlarged and we were very limited in what diagnostics could be done in light of the stress on the heart (couldn't give him fluids) and then his inability to drawn air in......The new X-rays shows spots on the lungs and poss. fluid, the lymph nodes were still very large..... So, with a poor prognosis, and the fact that he would not be able to survive surgery or sedation, I decided to let him go. When I went back to see him, I knew immediately it was the right thing to do--he looked awful, even with the oxygen, he was really struggling to breathe........He went as soon as the sedation was given, he was gone before the lethal fluid was even given. I will miss Herbie--he was such a love bug--hence, his name. He liked to lie next to other cats and put his "arms" around them.
