Thread: Euthanasia - so conflicted - need help

How sorry I feel for you & your furries & your situation but I suggest you put your "living" situation to one side & think of just your furries situation........ When we take on our pets we know that unless we are very very lucky we are also going to have to make that hard decision at some point for them,it is a right we have & a right they deserve,this is not always at the point where they tell you it is necessary it is at the point where you know quantity of life has more "fors" on it's side then quality......... Never never easy for us but ...... whatever you do has to be right for you & your furry babe but I would hate to think that any vet would put any animal to sleep if they thought true quality of life was still being had & our vets motto is always a day too early is better than a day too late........ Thinking of you at this obviously very difficult time,hugs to you all.......xxx

Iam so sorry to hear of your awful predicament, I agree with jckkerrison. I think you will make the right decision, you know your mc. It is the hardest choice we as cat carers have to make. My thoughts are with you at this time.

Mybaby, As I read your letter I could feel your pain, it breaks my heart to think of the agony you are going through. It is bad enough to be homeless and still need to care for your pets. The hardest thing we have to do is say good bye to our babies. I know you will make the right decision for your pet and yourself. Just remember that when you do, your baby has had a good long happy life and no one can take that away from either of you. Be brave, things will get better with time and God bless.

Thanks guys. I've been thinking about this sentence I'm hearing a lot right now..."you'll make the right decision." Maybe there isn't one "right" decision here but that the decision I make will be right. Watching her today she seems absolutely normal. No blatant signs of pain today. So putting her down just seems cruel and selfish. I'm a ball on a ping pong table it feels like. I've had to put other cats down but never from old age and it was very clear it was time. This one is just so hard to figure out. I guess when it really is time I will know that. Yes, she has had a very good life with me. Though she's hated having siblings over the years she has been safe and healthy and very well loved. Thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to me. Still figuring it out. She's 11yrs here.

Mybaby, That is a beautiful baby. I think we all use that sentence, because as the saying goes "This is not my first rodeo" I think of the pets I have had and loved and there is not one of them that does not bring tears to my eyes. One day, I will have to say goodbye to Ginger and it will break my heart. But for now, I will love her and take care of her and do the best to make sure she has a happy healthy life, that is all we can do as pet parents. As fellow humans, we can lend a shoulder and give comfort to those that are going through that too. ((((Mybaby))) Hugs to you that it will get better. God bless
