Pets

Be emotionally prepared to make a tough decision this afternoon. You may find your vet can offer some treatment that will keep her alive a little longer, but it may not be worth it in terms of quality of life.

Due to holidays, no vets open on weekends, and Mom's health at the time, I ended up bringing them both home, where they died in obvious suffering (I knew better the second time, but it was the damned New Year's weekend when she suddenly started to suffer severe decline). Once cats go into that last decline, things happen fast. Apparently kidney failure is a common cause of death in cats, and once the kidneys go, there's no saving them. Don't prolong the agony, for her or yourself, if you can help it. I wish I had been faster to choose euthanasia, but hated to do it for Mom's cats when she wasn't really aware at the time what was happening. Looking back on it, I made a mistake not to.
