I have walked in your shoes and had to put a cat I owned to sleep before and she wasnt old but she had been. beaten by some neighborhood kids who had locked her ina shed ,she finally escaped and came home a day or so later .we took her to the vet who did all he could for her and we took her home followed the instructions to the the letter but still she worrsened and startted to go into shock and was in terrible pain.So I took her back to thevet and he gave her a shot and she still refused to give up.the vet had to give her a secpnd shot and when she still continued to fight that shot the vet told me that until I told her it was ok for her to let go she would continue to fight the shots..I'm sure he was gulping back tears that dau so I did as he told me and my cat took a couple of shallow breaths and then one deep one and it was all over for her. I cried and still miss her but I know I did the right thing.my thoughts and prayers will be with you Missdoh
Oh, God. That makes me so angry I could cry. What happened to the kids? I hoped they faced some serious consequences for that. If not, tell me where they live.
Rascal:
Oh Missdoh - you poor thing. Reading this thread has got me all teary - and Bangelnuts your post made me furious - I hope those kids got what they deserved! I have two 12 year old cats myself and can't bear the thought of losing them - they were my first babies, before I had any human ones. Hugs for both of you.
PlaidSquirrel:
Gosh you guys have all made me cry. It is nice to know however that we are surrounded by animal lovers here.
MissDoh my thoughts will be with you as well. Losing a pet is always hard no matter what the circumstances.
I have three cats and three dogs but no kids. One of my dogs passed away very suddenly this last summer and we were so upset we actually sent her off to have a necropsy done to find out why. She had seemed so happy and healthy just earlier that same day. She had hemoragic gastroenteritis. Apparently it can happen very suddenly as it did with Coconut. I felt like my child had died and there was a lot of guilt over not realizing anything was wrong but it did get better. Plus I know she was very happy and we always did our very best for her.
Also as others have said people can be sorry bastards. I don't even want to think about all the cruel things I have personally known people to do to animals. It makes me sick and is one thing that can actually inspire me to truly Hate another human being. The worst part is knowing that usually they don't suffer for it at all. But sometimes they do. Once my cousin saw a guy throw a kitten from his car into traffic. She ran him off the road and beat the tar out of him when he said it was none of her buisiness (she's a big gal) and another driver pulled over and asked if she minded if he took over. She said sure and left them there. (i did not witness this event myself but only heard about it later.)
ElviraGoth:
So sorry to hear about your beloved pet, Missdoh. I've been there myself with pets over the years, and it is hard at first but it gets better. I have 2 kitties now myself and dread the day they will have to be laid to rest.
Bangelnuts, I really feel for you. That had to have been really hard for both of you. I can't imagine having to go through that with either a human or an animal family member. I cried reading your post, so I know that had to be one of the worst moments of your life.
My heart goes out to both of you.
