Thank you for your thoughts Gina. Mylo was already at the stage where he
didn't move very much. Very sad.

No, animals don't FEAR the pain of dying (and don't fear dying, for that
matter),
because they live in the moment, so they are only fearful when actually in the
process of being scared (and they don't have a belief system that registers the
end

Agree with this, I talked with Buddie the day before her surgery and

this is a hard one, because actually, i haven't used veterinary

i think, too, that i'm talking more about cats who accept treatment
quite well for a long time, and then suddenly say, "enough." i am a
huge believer in giving fluids, and will do so often at the first sign
of punkiness in a cat, and have seen them work wonders--often one
application of subq fluid
I used to think this too but since I've heard from many AC's that
animals don't fear the pain sometimes associated with dying in some
instances and many actually prefer to go through the whole cycle I am
really more of the thinking of letting them complete the cycle without
my intervention. No
PS. Fred told an AC he wasn't thrilled with the fluids, he didn't
understand the reason for it. He said he'd rather not get them but I

i will do fluids in a heartbeat for a cat--until they make it clear
that they no longer want it. i remember being really upset with a

I agree sometimes you come to a point where you have to consider
letting them go but in my opinion and *my opinion only* assist feeding

Being dehydrated is like having a horrible hangover, of course your

discomfort. I can't believe the dr didn't insist on it. This little
