[QUOTE="witzend, post: 531932, member: 99"] {{{{big hugs}}}} Lisa. It does sound as though Molly is suffering. It's such a terribly hard decision to make, and probably the most difficult thing about having pets. Bubba went through similar types of non-cooperation before we had to let him go. I felt so badly because he was doing his best to just remain comfortable, and we would be frustrated with him. In the end it all sort of started to add up to the giant thing that hit us in the face, made up of all the little things we should have noticed. He couldn't get up onto his favorite sofa anymore. He didn't know us when we came home. He was irritable. He was losing control of his bowels. He was in a lot of pain. Once we knew what we were going to do, and that he was dying slowly rather than dying right now, we scheduled for a few days out, and took our time to baby him and say good-bye. It's hard to believe that's been nearly two years now. I miss him every day. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this with Molly. :( [/QUOTE]
