    I think she should probably have someone with her whenever she goes out, and make sure she has comfy places to lie down, blankets on the floor or whatever! Make it a habit for checking her over for wounds once a day, so you and she will get used to it. Take pictures, and love her to pieces!

    Yes, that sounds like an excellent plan. Uncle is 70 and very spry and somewhat fit. Aunty has been crippled all her life. I think if he lets her out the front door where there are not so many stairs,( there's like SO many stairs in the back 40) it would definitely help. I think he forgets to do that. would be so much better. We just wish that there was more that we could do for her. $ is no object, just wanna make her life and death as kind and gentle as possible. gotta go bawlin' now, any more advce is welcome

    If they want her to pass away at home, I'm sure a vet could come do it there. Ask around a bit. But as long as she seems to be happy and enjoying life for the most part, it's ok to let her live. I've heard once to think of her favorite thing to do, and when she can no longer enjoy that, it is time to let go. So sorry! If only they could live forever...!

    Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go, and then do it. --Ann Landers

    Thanks, I'll pass on all these thoughts and just be supportive. I'm sure just taking it one day at a time, letting things unfold, it will become clear if she needs to be euthanized. They can get someone to come to the house I'm sure.

    One nice thing they can do now, is take a paw print, and maybe even a nose print to have as keepsakes. And of course pictures, of her enjoying a fall day, etc.

    Thank-you. That is a very lovely idea. Aunty still doesn't know if she should give her milk thistle on top of all the other medicine. They bought it but she figures Asia's liver is hooped enough and all those thing combined will make for toxicity and maybe do more harm than good...?
