Snickers is gone......

[DreMeister]

Today we made the very hard decision to have our Snicky put down. I feel horrible right now. She was having trouble breathing and wasn't active at all. I said we've had her at the vet 3 times in the last month and she just wasn't getting any better. She wasn't eating much although she did drink water. The vet said everything else on her was good, heart, lungs, etc, but she suspected maybe a tumor in her nasal cavity they couldn't see was causing her trouble. I hope I made the right decision, but I couldn't see her going back to the vet hospital for round 4 of the same stuff. I couldn't bear to hear her struggling for air tonite, I know I would not have slept at all. We were with her until the end. Very hard for me. We are grieving pretty hard right now, coming home and seeing all of her stuff. I kinda hate myself right now, like I let her down. Poor baby. Rest In Peace Snicky.......

I am so sorry for your loss. You did not let her down. You loved and cared for her. You made the hardest but greatest decision of all, to release her from her pain and suffering. I know it is hard, but it is also shows your love for her to no longer let her suffer.

Fly free Snicky and watch over everyone who loves you.

I am so so sorry, my heart breaks for you, you did not let her down.
You did everything you could, taking her numerous times to your vet and the animal hosp.I would not want to see her suffer any longer.
I have also had to let Tyler's brother go last Oct. I know it's hard.
Please do not hate yourself, you did everything you possibly could.
Fly high sweet girl ♥♥

I am so sorry Snickers has gone to the rainbow bridge.
please don’t feel you have let him down. You cared for him so well and there comes a time when we just can’t do any more for them, no matter how much we want to. He knew you loved him.
Take care of yourself and know you did the right thing.

What got me was after she had her first shot to put her down, I stroked her head and she looked at me with her big eyes as if to say what is happening? I feel so damn bad now I'm second guessing myself even though my wife says we did the right thing. We will get her ashes back in a couple weeks so she can still be here sort of. I'm feeling pretty horrible right now. Thanks for all of your support and help for her. I sure wish it would have turned out different.

She probably actually felt really peaceful. Like you feel when you are starting to feel the effects of an anaesthetic just before you fall asleep.
I think she was telling you it was all OK and not to worry.
It is never easy and what you are feeling is normal but you did do the right thing for her.

I'm so so sorry. It's the worst decision to make but it was done out of love. Thinking of you.

Choosing to end a little life is very difficult. I know she had problems that weren't going away and she's better off released from them. At least that's what I try and tell myself. I will get another kitty but not for awhile. My wife doesn't want any at all, but I like having a cat. Seems strange now that we don't have to stop the world to give her a shot every 12 hours. My wife has been picking up her blankets and toys. I hate coming in to the living room and seeing the spot she favored laying on. Damn this is hard. I've been on vacation last week now I gotta go back to work tomorrow with Snickers on my mind. Thanks to everyone here for your support and comfort thru all this. Thanks for all the suggestions for Snicky. I know I'm not the only one that's gone thru this.

Big Tears.. here.
I know how hard it is.
I took the week off after my kitty passed. And I think some of the tears I am crying now for you, are the caused from the memories of when my diabetic passed only 7 years ago. Lol.
You did everything you could for her, and gave her a good life. She knows how you feel and loves you for it and appreciates everything you did for her. She will be watching over you, and will be there for you one day. And she just may help a new kitty to find you. God Bless you when you find your new bundle of joy at your doorstep.
I usually am not very good at all at in times like these, and usually can't find any words but for some reason, I find myself writing.

Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry for your loss as well. I am still tore up pretty bad. Every time I look at her spot and she's not there and all her stuff is gone, it really gets to me. I really am second guessing our decision that maybe she could have gotten better. But she was in horrible shape yesterday. I am still sick. My wife does not want another cat, but I do. I said I would like to give a kitty a good home like Snicky had. It's going to be a while though. And I will adopt an older cat because those are hard to place. Until then, I'll remember Snicky for the 15 years we had the pleasure of her company. Rest in Peace pretty girl.
