I like the idea of having a vet come over. I think that would be much

I thought he would be more out of it. He was awake the whole time.

Thanks, Rhonda. It took a while to find a vet who would do what I needed
- she will come and tranquilize him, then help him pass, and then take him
to arrange the cremation.

It was arranged for tomorrow afternoon but he had a couple very bad spells
today and fortunately she agreed to come this afternoon and will be here
in about an hour. I managed to get him calmed down after the last spell
but he was pretty bad - he started to pant the way his sister did when her
spleen burst and that decided me - I don't want him to go into crisis and
have to be rushed to the hospital the way she was. So best he should go
today.

Thanks for your time and ideas, folks.

Sincere condolences. MLB

It was, thank you. The timing could not have been more perfect. The
vet arrived just as he decided he wanted to go hide someplace and we
all know what that means.

A couple friends had had in-home end-of-life visits and had bad
experiences which is another reason I was reluctant but this young lady
was nothing short of terrific so I was very lucky. Little fellow's
with his sister now.

Thanks very much.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but it sounds like it went as well as you
could have hoped for.

I'm sorry this had to happen, but it sounds like you did the right
thing. You allowed him to have a peaceful passing.

Take care,

Rhonda

I'm sorry, it sounds as though he had a long, happy life and that you
were always concerned for his well-being.
