If you have done this please send gentle feedback,if you can ,to us at
lin...@yahoo.com

Kitty,failing organs according to vet,has not visibly eaten or used the
potty in three weeks unless it disipated.As of monday she was running
around ,then seemed to have a stroke as she stayed in her bed.

We used to have pets..put to sleep but don't have that choice.

She has milky eye discharge,treated by prednisone.

Now she is walking and climbing..with a little stumbling but our
prayers brought her to her feet..She stinks and we did forcefeed her
food and water but then she started sipping from the bowl..

a family member felt bad and gave her an ambient to make her
...sleep...but she came back like a kitten.

it is very confusing and I cannot interfere ..they want to let her die
at home naturally which could be soon but ??? she lost a lot of wt of
course.

If the animal is clearly suffering, it would be best to bring her to a
peaceful, painless end. Many vets will make house calls so the companion
animal can pass away in familiar surroundings among loved ones. If money
is an issue, ask if a payment plan can be established to fund this
necessary act of mercy. Some animal-related non-profit organizations,
such as the SPCA or PETA, also might be able to help defray some of the
cost, if it involves ending the suffering of a terminally ill feline.
