When your pet is so ill it has to be "put down" it will be out of sightt. Of course what you imagine is awful. We've "put down" two. You?

Years ago we had a cat that either was poisoned by a neighbor or ate something that was poison. He began to convulse one day and was going around in circles chasing his tail. It was very scary and very sad. We scooped him and took him to vet and were told he was dying. Sigh. We had no choice.

A couple of years ago our beloved Tigger just started wearing down and wearing out. We always made sure he had all his shots but there is some disease unique to cats that can lie dormant apparently. I forget what it was but he just stopped eating and pooping. We took him to our vet and she took him in and did some tests and told us that she could keep him alive awhile longer with injections but the quality of his life was gone. The disease was taking over. She recommended putting him down and we did and fell apart.

Condolences to those of you who have been through the same thing. Pets bring such joy to your heart but it tears you up so bigly when they have to move on.
