my cat Tuna died exactly 24hours ago I had a vet come in for a home visit to put him down, he been fighting cancer for the last 4 months and it was just causing him so much discomfort I oriignally planned to do it last month but rescheduled for next week and then another week and another and finally I felt Tuna had enough. but in the last moments it was so tragic . I was petting him and looking into his eyes while the vet gave him the 1st shot to make him fall asleep and he meowed in pain as the needle went in all confused why its happening to him I thought i would have a few minutes with him before he falls asleep but in about 10 second his head was getting weaker and weaker and I kept looking into his eyes while petting his face and he looked at me and released one final meow before the drug took full effect and his head tilted down into my hand and the eyes were no longer moving but just wide open staring into nothing now i am haunted by that last meow... why did he do that. was he in pain even tho the needle was out and he was clam but then 10 seconds later he made another final meow while looking into my eyes before falling asleep ill never know and its killing me. I wanted him to go peacefully without any pain. and after he fell asleep in my hand i can hear him snoring while his eyes were wide open it was so tragic to see. the vet continued to with the 2nd lethal injection as i was petting his sleepying body feeling him take breaths and within 5seconds he took one final breath and it just stopped he was no longer breathing while my hand was still on his stomach and the vet said he was gone.. i lifted him up and stood with his lifeless body for 5min crying before giving back to the vet. this is by the far the worst experience i ever had in my life. feels like i lost a child.
this is the final picture i have of him 10min before the vet came over to put him to sleep
