My thoughts are with you, Suez - I hope Ron's surgery goes well on THursday. I know what you must be going through with losing Ron's pet. Several months ago, I had to care for my son's cat who had oral cancer at the edge of his mouth - and had stopped eating and was very old. Sometimes it is kinder to let them go. At one point, the day before, I just held the cat most of the day, petting it, trying to comfort it and make the last moments peaceful for both of us. I wish I could say something that would help, - I don't know if that's possible but I do know that anyone who has loved and cared for a pet feels what you are feeling now. Do try to do something kind for yourself.
