I posted on here a few weeks ago about my beautiful blue persian, bubbles who's jaw kept dislocating. Unfortunately it wouldn't stay in no matter how hard we tried, he wasn't eating, drinking and began to live in fear, he lost his trust in us because the process of resetting his jaw was so painful. He was 13 years old and 4 different vets advised than any orthopaedic surgery would be too much for him and could seriously wreck his quality of life. After staying up all night with him last night, we decided it was time to let him go. We stayed with him until the end, I felt him stop purring, it was very quick for him and the vet said he didn't even feel the needle go in his leg. I am so heart broken right now, I grew up with this cat and he was my soul mate, I cant believe that I will never see him or hold him again. His best friend, our other cat, hasn't yet realised, but they were so close. 

My thoughts go out to all those suffering the same pain right now

My heart goes out to you, but you did all you could, even more. It meant the world to your baby to be with him at the end, you committed a selfless act by ending his pain and suffering and I know it completely shattered your heart. I'm crying for your pain, I know that the pain can overwhelm you at times. Focus on yourselves and your remaining little one, you need each other at this time. It takes a long time to heal. Please know you are not alone in your grief, we will try to share the pain and lessen your burden........ Bubbles, you graced the world with your presence and will remain alive in your families memories and hearts, RIP little one, you were greatly loved.

I'm so sorry.  It's so painful to have to make this decision, but it was a decision made with love.

My condolences. It's so difficult to let them go, even when we know there's no choice. RIP, Prince, you were loved so much. :rbheart:

Have just seen your news and my heart goes out to you.  Your heart is broken right now but it will heal and when it heals Bubbles will be right in there with you.  Hugs.
