I did everything the vet said I should do, and I did not give a thought to the dollar amount. I just wanted him to stay with me. Then one night, while I was feeding him with a syringe, I told myself, I needed to let him go. There was no more life in him left. I decided to take him in to the vet in the morning to end is suffering (he was not in pain, but I could tell he was suffering... looking in his eyes- not sure if that makes sense). Early that evening, he passed away. My advice to you, is to let little Mattie go, so she no longer has to suffer and you can put your mind at rest knowing she crossed over the rainbow bridge. You have a lot on your plate right now, and believe me, once she passes, it will feel like a whole weight has been lifted because you will know she is in a good place.

Yeah...the above is what I meant when I said the hardest part of loving a pet is sometimes the most loving decision.
