Final Fluffy Update. She came home yesterday and spent some time with me. She was weak, but very happy to be home. The vet said he could see a change in her as soon as she saw me in the exam room and went right into her carrier when he opened it because she wanted out. She was wobbly last night, but stayed close and slept a lot. I was glad to get to pet her and see her. Late this morning, she was obviously in a lot of pain despite having her pain medication only a short time earlier. She was anxious purring, could not get comfortable, and was not lifting her head she also had not eaten anything and could be coaxed to take food or water and had an accident on the rug. I called the vet and took her in. When she was weighed, she had lost a full pound in a week and had another accident on her favorite mat, but wanted to lay on it anyway. I decided that given her horrible prognosis and suffering, the only thing I could do for her was put her down. I could not see her suffer any longer and owed her a dignified end to her life. I stayed while the vet sedated her and gave her the anesthesia that ended her suffering. I petted her while she took her last breath. The vet told me that she was lucky to have me all her life as I saw her through a lot and even luckier to have to have me today which gave me some comfort although I will miss her terribly. I'm glad that she's not suffering any more. Many thanks to all of you who took the time to give me kind words throughout this tough time. It's much appreciated. I know I made the right decisions for Fluffy but am just very sad right now.
