She's dying and I don't know what to do

[jannakaye]

My little Clover has taken a turn for the worst. She's having seizures and I'm pretty sure her organs are shutting down as she has not used the bathroom in over 24 hrs. What can I do to make her more comfortable or end her suffering? I was going to have her put down this morning but I realized it's the weekend. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sorry for you and her. If you have a pellet gun, a shot to the back of the head is fast and not too messy. There is also decapitation. If you can devise a killing cone out of a big plastic bottle, it would make things easier. Or you could conk her with a shovel. Sorry you are having to do it.

 

[jannakaye]

Oh, God, I don't know if I can do it. I keep thinking she's gone but she keeps trying.

 

[Hholly]

She's probably close. You can just leave her in a peaceful place and let nature take it's course. Good luck.

So sorry you are going through this.

I'm so sorry. She will probably just pass away in her sleep.

 

[jannakaye]

She passed at 10:44. I feel empty.

 

[Hholly]

So sorry for your loss.

 

[FridayYet]

It's very hard. Remember that she had a good life and often there is little we can do except offer comfort.
