I've just returned from the Vet, where I had my cat Duncan (aka Dunkin) put to sleep. The fluids he got yesterday did not help him and he deteriorated rapidly overnight.
puzzld1 helped me say goodbye to him last night, and I was able to shift from doing everything to save him to helping him go peacefully. I came home early from work, and he let me know that it really was time. I had one of my students drive me to the Vet, which was good, as I cried so hard at the Vet's that my contacts came out. I am going to get rid of his things, since it is difficult to see them around without him. When I do get another cat, I will be glad to start again with new equipment. I know I did the right thing, but it is very hard. I miss him. He was a good boy.
