night night bilbo... sleep tight xxxx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #215 on:** October 02, 2009, 17:39:20 PM »

oh Lottie my heart aches for you and handsome Bilbo and as the others have said the process is very peaceful. Kocka was given a sedative first. the decision is hard but when you see a magnificant cat like Bilbo going downhill so fast its so right to allow him some dignity at the end.

My thoughts are with you this sad night

MrsR · « **Reply #214 on:** October 02, 2009, 17:19:52 PM »

Sweetie I am so sorry.

You are doing the right thing if there is no quality of life, you are giving love and dignity to BIlbo by doing this, sometimes it doesn't feel like you are as I sometimes feel but you really are x

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #213 on:** October 02, 2009, 16:53:32 PM »

I'm terribly sorry Lottie. I'm thinking of you and little Bilbo. I'm sure like the others have all said, it will be peaceful. It is so quick, just ask the vet to let you know when he is ready so you have a last moment to tell Bilbo that you love him.

LesleyW · « **Reply #212 on:** October 02, 2009, 16:51:39 PM »

Lottie, I am so sorry to read this; you have had such a tough year and been so brave through it all.

As others have said, you have been through the toughest part in making the decision, there is nothing to fear from the procedure and Bilbo will be at peace, and free from pain and suffering, with dignity because of your actions.

Will be thinking of you both.

Janeyk · « **Reply #211 on:** October 02, 2009, 16:46:05 PM »

So sorry Lottie, you'll both be in my thoughts

I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you both, Lottie.

woodlandcats · « **Reply #208 on:** October 02, 2009, 15:58:37 PM »

I'm crying again at this bad news Lottie. I've lost so many and was with most when PTS. The moment you realize it's really over is bad but you'll feel relieved for Bilbo too as he no longer has to suffer.
Wish you all the strenght you need to go through this. You will always cherish the pics of Bilbo with Findlay, they are priceless

Bazsmum · « **Reply #207 on:** October 02, 2009, 15:50:56 PM »

Im so sorry to hear this Lottie, please give you all big hugs from me and mine....we will be thinking of you all!

clarenmax · « **Reply #206 on:** October 02, 2009, 15:32:37 PM »

Oh Lottie, I'm so sorry

Although the thought of pts is terrifying, the actual process is very quick. With Max he was so relaxed he didn't need a sedetive, we put him on the table, shaved a bit of fur from his leg, the vet told me to give him a cuddle and talk to him, and seconds later he was gone. Its very quick, and just like they are going to sleep.

Do spend a bit of time with him afterwards if you get the option as well

Oh Lottie I am so sorry to hear this about Bilbo, I to had the pleasure of meeting the teams wonderful boy and he will always be a credit to Lottie and Dave

Our thoughts will be with you and Bilbo tonight

to you, Dave, Findlay and of course the rest of the team

JackSpratt · « **Reply #204 on:** October 02, 2009, 15:20:09 PM »

Lottie, I've been with three of my cats when they passed over to the Bridge and I think it was more upsetting for me than them. If Bilbo is at the stage where this decision has been made he's likely to welcome the decision, and wanting to make sure he goes with a little dignity is perfectly understandable.

Please PM me if you need to, and be assured Bilbo knows you love him.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #203 on:** October 02, 2009, 15:02:55 PM »

I'm so sorry to hear this, Lottie

I've had the pleasure of meeting the magnificent Bilbo and he is so yummy. I hope it goes ok for you tonight and he drifts off peacefully to go and play with all the other Purrs babes at the bridge.

Oh Lottie, what a brave decision you have made for Bilbo. All my love and thoughts will be with you, enjoy your last few hours together and a peaceful passing to the bridge.

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #199 on:** October 02, 2009, 14:38:52 PM »

Ohhhhh Lottie I am so sorry

I am so sad to read this.

Lottie the process is painless and peaceful, Bilbo will just go off to sleep.
Issey was so ready to go which is nice because she just lay on the table and then i held her with her head on my shoulder while the last injection was put in her arm.

Will be thinking of you xx

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #198 on:** October 02, 2009, 14:27:02 PM »

Lottie
I am heartbroken for you and Bilbo.
There is nothing to be afraid of, euthanasia is a very simply dignified process and is over in seconds with no pain to the animal. Sometimes its done with a sedative first as Ems said, other times the vet is able to use just the one injection, either way it is painless.

In truth the hardest part is making the decision that the time is right.

Take care, we are all thinking of you

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #197 on:** October 02, 2009, 14:19:24 PM »

I have only just seen this so sorry to hear your news.

bunglycat · « **Reply #194 on:** October 02, 2009, 14:10:43 PM »

I am so sorry to hear this news -poor Bilbo and poor you .

ems · « **Reply #193 on:** October 02, 2009, 13:57:26 PM »

Oh Lottie am so sorry

With Nina they gave her a sedative first so she was really relaxed and was asleep in my arms then they put her on the table and gave her the injection.

Honestly though it was so much more peaceful than I was expecting, she literally just went to sleep really peacefully

Will be thinking of you

Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's) · « **Reply #192 on:** October 02, 2009, 13:50:33 PM »

Sorry for not updating before now, I've been really busy with Bilbo and Findlay.

Bilbo is getting worse, since last night his back half has been awful and when he tries to walk he either wobbles hugely or his back half just falls over. He went to the vets this morning where the vet agreed that the new dose of meds would be well in his system by now but it isn't controlling the seizures at all and his reflexes are getting worse, his eyes now are not reacting to light at all

He is due to go the vets for the last time tomorrow morning although sitting here looking at him I am thinking of taking him tonight rather than him be like this all night as he just looks so so sad and his quality of life is getting very poor and I want him to go whilst he still has some dignity left.

I am absolutely heartbroken for my gorgeous boy and also a bit scared. I have never been with an animal when they are put to sleep so I'm not exactly sure what to expect, do they literally just have an injection and drift off to sleep forever?

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #191 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:42:54 AM »

I hope that the new dose works better for Bilbo

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #190 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:39:43 AM »

How is Bilbo today?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #189 on:** September 28, 2009, 15:22:55 PM »

I hope that Bilbo is a bit better today, lots of love

Bazsmum · « **Reply #188 on:** September 28, 2009, 15:16:18 PM »

Hoping you all had a quiet night Lottie and you got some positive advice from your vet call! Wishing you all well!

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #187 on:** September 28, 2009, 10:01:15 AM »

I'm so sorry it's not good news for poor Bilbo

Sending lots of hugs and vibes to you both.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #186 on:** September 27, 2009, 18:55:09 PM »

It could take a couple of days to kick in and hope thats the reason Lottie

Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's) · « **Reply #185 on:** September 27, 2009, 18:54:05 PM »

Thank you all for your kind words and I have passed all hugs onto Bilbo.

I was so happy last night as as he didn't have a grand mal seizure yesterday as far as I am aware (he poss had a petit mal one or else he just wet himself for another reason) unfortunately today he had a petit mal one this morning and a grand mal one this evening despite the phenobarbitol

My vet is on call tomorrow (it's a bank holiday up here) so I'll give him a ring and see what he says as they might be able to up Bilbo's dose.
