[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 48987, member: 211"] Hi family, We are a family with a zoo (see signature below) but one of our oldest, beloved cats is in the process of dying. He and his sister are outdoor only cats, pretty much the entire neighborhood's cats. We got them from the Humane Society when they were tiny kittens, over 10 years ago. The last week or so, he has stayed home mostly all the time. Yesterday morning I took a good look at him and he did not look good. He has NO color to his gums and was breathing very slowly. I called the emergency vet last night and she said that when it gets to that point he is just hours away from dying. This morning he didn't acknowledge our presence, and was breathing only every 20 seconds or so. Now he is down to only taking a desperate breath every 45 seconds. He is basically gone. husband and easy child 2 just left for a fishing weekend. I don't know what to do. Do I just let him go naturally or take him to the vet and let them euthanise him? He doesn't seem to be in any pain or I would have taken him last night. I hate this so much! husband told me he feels it will happen VERY soon and to put him in a box once he is gone with his favorite blanket and husband will bury him when he gets home on Sunday. I can't stand the thought of him here, in a box, ya know? Thanks for listening. Just sitting here, miserable and sad! Vickie [/QUOTE]
