This is how it is at my vet's and I have held and cried while many of my babies have left me and their pain behind. I would not have it any other way, I want them to know that I love them in their last momentsOriginally Posted by xocats
At our vet's hospital, once the decision is made, our vet gives the kitty an IM injection of a strong sedative.
The kitty slowly relaxes, then goes into a light sleep.
When the caregiver is ready, the vet injects, IV, a strong anesthetic that rapidly stops the heart.
My last two beloved kitties were released from their bodies as I held them and told them how much they were loved.
It was a gentle, peaceful way to die.
