Yesterday was rough. Mikki was slowing going downhill and we decided after Matt gets home it's "time".
She was pacing the same pattern for hours yesterday and she fell into the water dish and nearly drowned. If I wasn't home she would have.
Poor scrounge cat. She did have 5 good years and I feel good about that. We buried her under the Rose of Sharon in the back of the house.
It was awful in the vet's office too. Every dog that came in had to be PTS. We had a 4 hour wait while she argued with 2 people to do the right thing by their dogs and put them down. They both wanted to take the animal home and let it suffer to death. One was a boxer with bloat and torsion whose heart rate was well over 250 BPM. He did the right thing overall. The other guy was some vicious little beast who was bleeding from her sinuses and vomiting puddles of blood. It was a literal blood bath in the office. He refused treatment, medication to keep her comfortable and took her home to let her bleed to death slowly.
Dr. Laura was really upset over that one. She hates having to do "it" as it is, but when you have people you have to actually convince it's the right thing to do it makes that task so much harder. I felt so bad coming in to do that with the cat too, but she at least knows that when we come in for that business we are sure, correct and not hysterical crying making it even harder on her. People think that shit is easy for the vet to do and it's not.
Anyway, Mikki is resting nicely in the yard.
