[quote=Anonymous]Our old, old cat has recently had several health issues. She has really started to go downhill in just the last few days. She is still drinking, but doesn't appear to be eating much -- if at all -- and is staggering around/having trouble standing, complaining a lot and just seems very unhappy and befuddled.

Our plan had always been to allow her to pass naturally, but now we're worried that we might be on vacation when she goes (we're leaving in early August). We've hired a pet sitter (we have other pets, too), but it's a middle school student who will not be able to deal with her numerous health issues or actual death if it happens on her watch.  I feel like a professional pet sitter isn't going to be much more help than the student we've hired; it would need to be someone very sensitive to the situation who really loved cats. We have no family in the area who can help.

We are now reluctantly considering euthanasia. WWYD? I feel terrible about the idea of timing our pet's end because we have to leave town, but I can't cancel our trip for a variety of reasons.j[/quote]
