At least that.

I called the mobile vet people, and we are in the area where they'll do at home euthanasia. They'll take the body after for a private cremation and we can pick up the urn later.

I didn't want him to have to make that final trip to the vet. He hates vets so much, lots of h-words and g-words and I didn't want that.

Still don't know how we'll do this. So far, he seems good. His abdomen is definitely fluid filled, but he's eating and begging for more water (in the right hand dish only).

Such a love of a cat.

So sad for you.

I'm so sorry this is happening, although it sounds like you're doing everything you can to make this easy on Gus. I'm glad there won't be a stressful trip to the vet on top of everything else, and that you can give him a peaceful, loving goodbye when it's time. *hugs*

Damn, it's so hard to decide on the "when", when the pet is still doing OK. We had to decide with Jake, and it was very tough to schedule the euthanasia a week in advance.

I'm really glad Gus is still feeling good!
