Prayers needed for Allen -- He's at the RB now

[catnapper]

I'm thinking its best to let him go. They say you know.... I feel like he was looking at me and telling me to do just that.

The vet has him on fluids at the moment. I figure to wait a few hours and see if he's perked up and taken interest in food. If not, I think I will let him go. Its a matter of quaility of life for him (as well as my other guys)

I don't want him to feel left out because he can't eat their food, or to be grumpy and start fights when they want to play with him. The fights he has been picking with the other the past few months have been pretty bad (lots of screaming and fur flying -- actual fur flying). See the scratch under his nose? Someone got him good a week ago. Harry had a matching scratch the same day so I think those two got into a nice little fight. Its usually Mikey and Allen. He's been rather testy lately. How fair is it to have him miserable and always fighting?

I swear I looked into his eyes and he told me to let him go.

Your post brings tears to my eyes because it's never ever easy. It's so hard but you know what is right for him and for you.

When I had to make the decision to let Ziggy go it was so hard because he seemed well even though he wouldn't be soon. I'm praying for you and for Allen. It's so hard and never easy. Please know we are here for you and Allen.

Take care, hugs,
Melissa

Give the fluids a go. If Allen perks up he may have a good life for some time to come.
You know that Filou survived for 5 years- and even the 2 or 3 crisis he experienced in his last year didn't slow him up. He loved the Royal Canin diet food and his extra goodies like egg yolk - up to goose fat
If the fluids don't make a difference then of course it would be time to let Allen go.

You and Allen are in my thoughts
