I have to have my cat euthanized - Page 2

[SunShineSally]

I cried through this whole thread I had to put my extreamly special kitty Lala down almost a year ago. she also was to sick to help she was going into liver failure I felt cheated I was only with her for 3 years! But she did so much for us in those 3 years and was so loved. Your kitty knows you love her there is no way she couldn't! I was allowed time with her I loved on her squeezed her so tight told her how much we all loved her and how no one wants her to feel any pain she was purring the whole time. I fell so apart at one point the nuse yelled at me to calm down it is so hard but it was what needed to be done for the kitty just remember that it is out of love that we need to say goodbye and let them go and to keep them here with us is being selfish although I really wanted to be and just bring her home and have her with me but it would be harder to watch them suffer! i am not sure I was any help what so ever I hope I was PM me if you need to remember they may be gone but they are still at our feet walking with us everyday

I'm really sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I had to have my thirteen year old dog put to sleep last year. She had an untreatable tumor in her throat. We took her outside the vet's, walked around with her, cuddled and played with her, then went into the exam room.

My mum and I were both crying, and our vet was crying too. We payed the receptionist on the way out.

It's over

A friend drove me there and back, thank goodness. I had Julia in a carrier on my lap on the way there, and then in the waiting room chatting with some dog owners. They called us into the exam room in a few minutes. I cried throughout the procedure, but not hysterically like I was afraid I would. Julia hissed and bit at them when they tried to take her out of the cage, I guess because she thought they were going to do more blood work. So they took the top off the cage instead. They gave her a shot of sedative in her right hind leg so that her last memory would be of falling asleep with me petting her. When she was unconscious, they took her out of the cage, covered her with a towel, shaved her right front leg, and put the needle in her vein. She died pretty quickly. I then left, because I lack religious beliefs about bodies (the only other dead loved one I have ever been in the room with was my dad, and the only reason I stayed with his body as long as I did was because my family needed me). I paid cash on the way out and the receptionist was apologetic and handed me a Kleenex.

I got MIL to pick dd up from school and I have a little less than an hour before they get home and I'd like to clean the litter box and puppy pad out of the bathroom before they get here, so I guess I will just post. Thank you, everyone, for your support. When I feel a little better I hope to make a photo montage of Julia's life, and I can post that here.
