I feel for you. Palliative treatment for Maddie (my avatar) was far too stressful for her, she fought and spat out her meds and couldn’t eat without vomiting. Wasn’t long at all before I had her put to sleep.
Molly is still purring, eating and seems happy until meds. But she is rapidly losing weight and the meds are making her so anxious that I know I am on limited time. I have another cat the same age that is doing great as well as 3 others.I feel for you.

Glad you won’t be catless when Molly’s time comes.Molly is still purring, eating and seems happy until meds. But she is rapidly losing weight and the meds are making her so anxious that I know I am on limited time. I have another cat the same age that is doing great as well as 3 others.
~ If you have property that's the best way ...We actually live on acreage, so we have a cemetery for our pets. We have lived here for 25 years and have always had six plus dogs and cats at any given time. Although they all live a long time, we have had to bury quite a few over the years.
This is the part of pet ownership that sucks.Oh my gosh. It is so hard to decide when the right time is to have a pet put to sleep. Kitty has lost a pound in 3 weeks, but is still doing all of her normal stuff. I don't want to wait too long, but making that appointment is so hard.
~ That used to be the case around here "in the old days" ...I honestly think it shouldn’t be charged for at all.
People are going through enough already.
I don't know if the vet clinic that I take mine to has different charges if the owner is present, I was there with both of mine that they have euthanized. They only charge for the euthanasia itself. I had mine cremated and used the same service that they use so everything was taken care of from the clinic. The service called me as far as level I wanted and if I wanted the ashes back which I did. I paid them directly.Where I work it is $140.00 if the owner wants to be present.
That sounds very weird, and makes me think that something is going on when the owner isn't present...Where I work it is $140.00 if the owner wants to be present.
The problem is that the cost of bread, eggs, milk, and the gasoline vets put in their cars to drive to work have also gone up. As have the costs for the clinic’s electricity and insurance.I did just find out today that the cost of the euthanasia solution has gone up from being a couple of dollars a bottle to being $66.00 for a bottle half the size. Then it would make sense for the price of euthanasia to go up $60. To go up more just means that vets feel the pharmacy companies are good role models. And that says a lot about what's going on in the US.
