Nina,
I'm so sorry. I can say that as animals lose weight it does make it
more difficult to find a vein. My vet can find a vein in a potato, but
it sounds like your favorite vet is not available. Make sure that
whoever you decide on sedates her first. Also, do NOT let them take

Darling Nina, the decision to euthanize is a personal one, but I will

I made that decision with my Butch.
It is very hard, but I firmly believe that when they have given up there is no need for anything to be dragged out. I almost wish people could have the option of euthanasia because I know some would take it.

Nina, I am sorry. This is so awful for you and her to have to go through this. If you do euthanize at some point, maybe you can give her some oral valium first, the way you did earlier, so that she is more relaxed for the process?
