ElizabethGPAPS Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 It's done. She went peacefully and without sound or struggle, but true to form, her stubborn heart didn't stop for many minutes after breathing ended. Goodbye to my special, special girl Thank you everyone for your kind words. This was my first time euthanizing a pet. It changes you, doesn't it? As a side note - I really recommend to those of you facing this to give a sedative about an hour beforehand (I gave 25mg ace) - it helped me a lot that she was kind of zonked out and not looking around with curious and trusting eyes going "Hey! We have company!"
