My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My sweet Heidi was in acute kidney failure for 3 1/2 years before I had to make the decision to let her go. I wanted so much for her to go on her own at the only home she knew. She was on sub-q fluids and several meds every day during those last years and we almost lost her so many times but I just couldn't make the decision for her. I still regret the day that I made it because it took the vet three times before her little heart stopped beating. It was like she still wasn't ready to leave. It is a blessing that your little Rufus was able to go in the only home he knew surrounded by all the people that loved him. My heart is breaking for you and your precious little one.
