Thank you all for your kind words and support. It means so much to me
during this painful time.

I am so sorry Sheri. You did everything possible. And you?re right.
It is
beyond unfair that these innocent beings should suffer and die like
this.

*Subject:* [Felvtalk] Letting go of Mo
Mo's appetite hasn't improved and this morning I found him in my
daughter's room laying in a puddle of his own urine. I gave him his
buprenorphine but I am done forcing meds on this angel beyond comfort
care.
We were going to see the vet today for bloodwork, but I don't really
see
the point now. Perhaps if we had tried these meds when he first
started
slipping it would have helped him. At least I am armed with this
knowledge
for Violet.
My heart is breaking. This is all so unfair.

There is no better ending for our little friends than to die in the
arms of those who loved them....... and no better ending for us as
well.
Mo deserves to not have his end be a repetition of his beginnings...I
realize that I am not the most objective fellow in the world at the
moment but ,having had my little yogi die with me holding him ...
passing quietly and peacefully was a comfort for me. No quess
workhether it was the right time. No yanking him from his home, to be
put in a carrier and exposed to a stressful car ride.. placed on a
metal table to meet his end in a strange place. Whenever possible this
IS the way to go

My heart is breaking for you too. It is so unfair. I curse this
stupid
virus. I hate the fact that there is not something more that can be
done
with treatment and cure.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong.

I have been allowed to hold both of my cats & 1 for my sister as they
were
"put down". Using a towel around their lower half to catch anything
excreted when they leave their body helps.
Be your & your baby's best advocate when the time comes.
My heart hurts for yours,
Jen

I have done this too, but I'm really hoping Mo can pass at home. His
whole
life was meds and surgeries and needles and clinics and shelters, I
don't
want his last moments to be the same.
He left my bed in the night and had an accident on the floor. I have
laid
potty pads on his spot and put him there after. He's resting
comfortably
for now.
I have to work this morning. It is killing me to leave him alone. I
will at
least be out by lunchtime to spend the rest of the day with him. It's
so
difficult to smile and focus on my patients when all I want is to be
home
for him.
I have another round of Buprenorphine waiting at the vet. My only goal
is
to make him comfortable until he goes.
I appreciate all of you. These emails have been so comforting and
kind,
they mean so much to me right now, thank you.
