Thank you all.

Since saturday night when she went into diabetic shock, she was only getting worse. She wouldnt eat or drink and just wanted me to hold her all teh time. I knew she was feeling bad, just listening to her breath. It sounded to me like her lungs. Like she was full of congestion. She could barely purr and hasnt meowed since last wednesday. It sounded much more than a throat infection like her vet said.

Her vet just wasnt doing anything to try and help her, so i found another vet. Thats where we ended up yesterday. He ran tests, little as possible. I didnt want her stuck any more than necessary. She turned out to be suffering with a bad pnuemonia and her diabetes was at a point of no longer being able to be controlled. The vet offered to do a 5-10 day intensive care on her. But even after that, if she would make it through, she would be in bad condition.

I couldnt be selfish and put her through that. I couldnt stand seeing her suffering anymore. I pretty much knew on that saturday night she wouldnt be with me much longer. I had to let her go. We had some time alone at the doctors office and it was the hardest thing i've ever done in my life to hand her to the doc. But i did, I did it for her. And i know now shes at peace.

Thank ya'll for being here with me through this. She's been my baby for 16 years.
