[QUOTE="jal, post: 347995, member: 3477"] Kjs, My deepest sympathies. Not to hijack your thread, but this past Monday I had to put my 8.5 yr old orange tabby to sleep. He had chronic urinary tract infections/blockages. Every time we had him unblocked and taken care off, to a total of 7 times over the years. We couldn't afford the surgery at other times and tried to limp along with-him. I am still paying the bill from last months blockage and they didn't offer me much of a discount, let alone a guarantee. If there was a guarantee, I would have done it. I was taught how to subcutaneously hydrate him at him with an IV and a needle (that's how far it went at times). I second guess myself too. It broke my heart to make this decision, but I cannot afford to keep going through emergency measures as husband is out of work and I was behind on major bills. I have taken comfort in the fact that he will no longer suffer and I (we) had done all that was possible to make him better. (Special foods, medications, care, etc.) I am sorry for your loss and please know at the moment, you are not alone in this this week. Chloe is in a better place. I know it's cliche, but I have to believe it too. Again, my apologies if I have impeded on your thread. [/QUOTE]
