Very Sick Kitty -- Senor Guapo Blanco Gato being PTS today.

[allmycats]

I don't know whether I should have an autopsy done to find out what is ailing him, or just let him go.

if you have to let him go for his sake, that takes courage and love on your part. I know how hard that dicision is, I had to have a young cat pts years some ago.

only 5 yeas old, that is very hard, I am so sorry for your grief.

as for the autopsy, contact the nearest university, or ask your vet about it,sometimes universities will do autopsies for less because they learn from it.

I know that is a morbid thought, but if you can learn what happened to him, maybe it is something to consider.

Thank you guys SOOOOO much. You have been very helpful. I appreciate all the kind words everyone has said.

It being the next day, I know while a difficult decision, I know we made the right one. When I spoke to my Mom after she had him put to sleep, she said there was no way we could let him go on. We have no idea what illness could have made his health decline so quickly. We decided not to have an autopsy done, just to let him be.

I am going home tomorrow to put him to rest, thank you all again. You've made me feel so much better.

I made it through the first day, and now I can look at the brighter side, knowing he has no pain, and he will always be beautiful.

All of you please have a wonderful weekend!
