paige224 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I had to put Kitty Poo to sleep yesterday. She had severe skin infections that after 3 months no longer responded to medication. She was 13 years old. She will be missed. I feel better about the whole situation today, as I didn't notice how much time I spent worrying about her. Now I know the suffering is over. And I can move on. RIP POO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm so sorry about your furry baby. Sometimes it's a relief to let them go. You know they aren't suffering any longer and you no longer have tough choices about what to do for treatment (or withholding treatment).

AuntDee Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It's not easy to make the decision to put our pets down. I know you did the right thing for Poo. Hugs. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I am sorry about Poo. I had to put down my dog a couple of months ago. Sometimes you just have to do what is best for them no matter how bad it hurts your heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 My sympathies, but we all understand that you have to do what you have to do to help your furbabies and relieve their sufferings. She will be waiting on the bridge for you later on, and in the meantime has many new friends to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Animals should not be allowed to suffer beyond that wich is curable. Sorry 'bout your loss, but this is the most humane and loving thing you could have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Susan, I'm so sorry you had to make that difficult decision, but having had to make it for our Beautiful Melody last November, I understand. Our vet did a most wonderful thing without our knowing anything about it and made a generous donation in Mellie's name to our vet's alma mater veterinary school! Perhaps you vet will do something similar for Poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm so sorry about your dear Poo!! Having had to do that more than once with my furkids, I know how much it hurts, but you did the right thing. Hugs to you and your family.

Hallowell Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm so sorry to hear about Poo. Lots of hugs heading your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmgervais Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 So sorry to hear about Poo, but encouraged by the fact that you are starting to feel better now that you do not have to worry as much. I know that putting an animal down is always difficult - we had to do it to one of our cats many years ago because of an intestinal problem that could not be fixed. The cat was constantly in pain and the vet bills were costing us more than our mortgage every month towards the end. But, in my heart, I know that is was the best thing to do for him. Continue to feel better and know that you did the right thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
