I've been hoping and praying that Tomi would somehow pull through this, and last week he did seem to be doing better on the 2 prednisone per day. But now, the last few days, he's been going downhill fast. Today, he is out of breath just walking a few feet, and breathing fast. I'm still able

My thoughts and prayers are with you Cassandra. I agree that making him endure a horrifying car ride and having to go to the vet's office with the scary smells, sights, sounds, would not be fair. I would contact your vet and see if he/she would visit. It would be very compassionate of you to let

Oh Cassandra! I know EXACTLY how you're feeling!! I had my Slinky for only 8 months and we grew even closer than we already had during the weeks I was nursing him and praying he'd recover. I agree with Melissa. If he's uncomfortable and not having a good quality of life, you may

Cassandra, I don't know if this would be appropriate, but my Spencer benefited from daily Dexamethasone shots I gave him subq. He was failing fast and the dex made him feel so much better and gave him another month of quality living. He did so much better with the steroid shots that I even

The Royal Princess Kitty Katt hated cars and vets too. So much so that a vet 2 1/2 hours from me agreed to drive down if I needed him and help her leave this world at home. She did not. She chose to leave on her own. Letting her do this her way was one of the hardest things I have ever

Cassandra, I'm so sorry that Tomi is not doing well. How hard it must be for you to watch him decline like he is. I'm really sorry Cassandra. If it doesn't feel right to take Tomi in for pts, you have two options. One is to have a vet come to you to pts at home, or two, to let Tomi pass
