    Morning Alison.
    So sad to read that Bubbles' time had come. Very very hard when a cat simply has no interested in eating. Period.

    You did everything you possibly could for her & she is now at peace and rest.

    Hugs :bighug:

    This really makes me sad. I am so sorry you had to make this decision. It is never easy. I had to make the decision myself with my dog Jake back on Sept 29th. The hardest thing I have ever done. I am seeing a lot of this on here and makes me wonder if I am going to lose my Booger too soon...

    Allison, I am so sorry to hear that Bubbles has gone to the Bridge. That last gift of love is always the hardest to give. You did everything you could and, in the end, let her go with peace and dignity, surrounded by your love. She will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, for the day you two are reunited. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

    thank you to all who so kindly responded...it means the world to me as most of my aquaintances do not share my love for cats...i get this love from ppl on this forum...i have never had human children ...she was my furbaby....I made the decision based on her age and the fact that she could not withstand forcefeeding...and I dont think it would have been fair to her...I will never know why she stop eating unless i have a necropsy done...which i have had done in two other kitties...i am strongly considering this....the cost doesnt matter...any thoughts...

    hi lovemyboogie...yes I have put nine pets to sleep but this decision was the most difficult....so so many variables ...and the number one thing that stood out is that she was diabetic (numbers tested in the thirties) yet she had no interest in even her favourite treats....this was the number one factor that pushed me over into the decision at the age of 17 to put her to rest...i strong felt there was something else going on....its so heartbreaking...but so is life at times...we have to be strong in knowing that we gave them an awesome life and we cannot control things when we desperately want to....thanks for writing to me...time is the greatest anesthetist (Rouseau)...

    thanks so much for your confirming that if you cannot get your kitty to eat...insulin seems out of the question. .i would never have subjected her to force feeding....which was the only safe alternative and hospitalized...(all she would have known in possibly pain from an underlying painful condition and /or fear of different environment....hugs and thx so much for saying that...it hrlps me alot to know i made the right decision...it was terribly difficult in the office...but i was told i had the staffs 100 percent backing on my decision...still buckets of non stop tears

    I had no children in the end either. Not what I wanted. The hand that I was dealt. So I suppose our pets mean so much more to us within our family dynamics.

    My opinion and it is just my opinion. Make your peace that you did everything you could & also you took the hard decision & the best thing for Bubbles in letting her go.

    I don't think a necropsy for Bubbles now is going to help anything really .

    So sorry you had to make the sad decision to let Bubbles go, but in the end, it's the last gift we have to give our sweet babies.

    As for the necropsy, if you will always wonder what might have been going on, then I say go ahead. Answers can sometimes help us heal, even if they can't change the outcome.

    Fly free sweet Bubbles and land softly...send your mama a sign that you've arrived, are safe and healthy again and waiting for the day when you'll be reunited forever. cat_wings>o

    So sorry to hear about Bubbles, and know how heartbreaking your loss is. You were so very lucky to have her and her, you -- and know you'll meet again on the other side in a happier place. You took the right decision to end her suffering -- would someone were brave enough to do that for us when our time comes. Sending much love and hugs.

    I'm so sorry for your loss of your precious Bubbles. I had to say goodbye to my baby Dweezil 2 weeks ago and still can't believe it.

    The only comfort we have is knowing they are no longer suffering, and that they knew they were loved. That's all that matters in the end. Love.

    ALL our furbabies know how loved they are.

    hi kerry...thx for your condolences....vet can prescribe appetite stimulants and anti nausea...INSTINCTS makes rawboost mixers...worked very well until Bubbles went downhill very quickly....herd parm chz sprinkled on top works...I really understand your anxiety...i had it too...vet said u can smear little bit of a/d vet food on their gums to stimulate their appetite...then misx it with a bit of tepid water...I tried everything ...wish you best of luck...its not easy...hugs
    To Dwessell's family...yes I am on day three of losing my little girl...I really lived for her...I have no human children ....every morning first thing out of my mouth was "BUBBLES"!...Every day i came home I dropped everything to look for her...I think she was actually annoyed by my over attention...lol...she ended up taking to my housemate in the end which broke my heart...now I realize she was trying to escape being touched or petted i believe due to likely some form of discomfort...she wasnt doing the usual things she used to do...she was lethargic...stopped running when she heard the crinkle of the treat bag and stopped grabbing at my hand if i tried to stop rubbing her belly gently (my hand belonged to HER you see...lol)...the change came on quite gradually over two months or so ...then her appetite went suddenly way south so thats why i took her in for blood work...discovered diabetes...in the end...her bg was so low vet said no insulin could be given...her body was failing I believe in other ways at 17...they were going to have to hospitalize and force feed her and do other diagnostics but felt there were not many other conditions she could have other than the worst ones and operations were out of the question...I will never know what was really going on other than she wasnt comfortable and perhaps in undiagnosed pain which i wasnt willing to risk for her sake...hardest decision of my life due to all the variables and of course her age limitations ...I am doing ok because i know shes at peace...this was the hardest thing for me...to know she might be discontent and unable to show it...as most cats will hide terrible pain....taking her in to be put to rest she was still rubbing her little face up against the cage door (that nearly did me in)...I will treasure her memory forever and will continue to adopt only old cats because here noone wants them (for the above reasons)...tell me your kitties story...it might help to talk about it as this has calmed me a bit...
