But our 14 year old Ellie became noisy over a month ago. She even began grinding her teeth. We made a vet appointment and learned she was in pain. Her heart was failing . Option one was steroids to make her comfortable for a short period before her end. Option two was end her suffering now. I opted for two as I could not near to see her struggle. Genially the vet prepared her with sedation in another Rome and then brought her back to me where I said my goodbyes and stroked her comatose body. I gave the vet the okay for the final dose to send her to cat heaven. I her her take her last breath. Though gut wrenching I knew she had loved us and we her since she came into our lives as a rescue in 2011.<br />Of course I sobbed to moment I was back outside where hubby was waiting.we cried together before we could get into the car.<br />With Covid he had to remain outside waiting . All I could do is text our family and take photo of our parting.<br />And as We headed home an eerie feeling came over me. This parting was as unusual as those of humans separated by Covid.<br />I was allowed into the vets office only after she had taken the cat in from curb drop off and made her assessment that Wllie was in serious trouble.<br />I like your cat chat as it has a happy out come.Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-21850321669558561232020-11-26T09:53:57.008-06:002020-11-26T09:53:57.008-06:00Mage,
