Just want to throw my agreement & 2 cents in here - if you had gone ahead and had him PTS right then, even if the vet had suggested it, or called in the middle of the night and had to have him PTS, as soon as it happened, you probably would have had so much more guilt and second-guessing...

I came here from your post To Love Again. I just wanted to say, wow. What a short time between the first diagnosis and her passing. I'm so happy for you that you were able to hold her at home as she passed. We had to put down our TC and we didn't know home visits for that were an option, so it...

Background story:  (skip down to questions if you want) We adopted Tux, a 4 month old black and white kitten, from a rescue group just before Christmas. Tuxie She's seemed very sociable right from the start, took to strangers in the house fairly easily, adapted us and our ways quickly (she's...
