    She's not getting any better. I'm not giving up just yet but I don't know how much longer I should do this. She can only take a couple of steps before falling over and she seems to be having a bit of trouble breathing. She didn't eat much yesterday and I'm thinking it won't be long now. I need to get some more fluids and needles at the vet's tomorrow to I'll speak to him then about this. I just can't believe how fast this is coming on.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I will pray that you have the strength to do what is necessary when the time comes. And I will hold your hand the whole time.

    Warm thoughts and many prayers to you and your little one. I know that God will help to guide you in what is the right step. I know this is a difficult time for you and Speckles. I and my little ones are praying for you.

    Slick, you'll know what is the best thing to do for precious Speckles. You are best placed to judge how she feels. Lots of love and hugs coming your way.

    Of course it is not just kidney failure- it's also a kitty who would be 100 if she was a human. And we all know that even easier health problems can't be fought very well if they attack older people.

    You will know best what to do and will find the right decision. And maybe Speckles will let you know whether she is ready to go. Our kitties know better than we do and can accept the end easier. It's us humans who always want to change what is unevitable.

    Love, purrings and headbumpies from the boys.

    Like others have said, you will know when it's time, and you will do what's best for Speckles. I'm so sad that she isn't improving better and like you say, it's all coming on so quickly.

    Know that she has lived a good long life. It's because you care for her so much that she has even made it this far in life. I also know that all of this isn't much consolation for you and no matter how much you are preparing yourself for what is to come, you will be most devastated when the time comes, and I so wish I could be there for you to help you through it.
