You’re welcome. It was a really emotionally draining experience to go through for me, so I wish you peace and your kitty comfort as you two travel this road together.

Hi friend. My family had to make the tough decision to put our dog down earlier this year. He also had dementia and cancer. It was a hard decision to make because it was such a slow decline and some days (and weeks) were better than others.

Our vet shared with us this quality of life calculator. There are a few online like it. We assessed our boy once a week until it became obvious that it was his time.

I second was other people have said in this thread about at home euthanasia. It was nice getting to say goodbye in a comfortable and safe environment. The vet was so kind and let us take as much time as we needed.

I’m sorry you are going through this.

For what it’s worth, out vet also told us it’s always better to let them go day to early than a day too late. We really struggled with the “when” and not wanting to rob our beloved friend of any time he had left, but because they can’t tell us what they want all we can do is the best we can do and try to let them go gently without any pain.
