I am so sorry to hear about Connie.
It's so hard, to hear news like that. Our pets are family, often like children to us, and this is the news we all dread hearing.
Our old cat was in her 20's when she died. We had been told that she had growths in her ears, but because of her age, they couldn't do anything, but they might spread. They said she wasn't in much pain, so we left her for a while, as I couldn't bear to lose her.
After a while, she really began to suffer, and when I called the vet, they said she would need to be put to sleep, as she was suffering.
It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, and I was so upset for months after. I felt so guilty for letting them put her to sleep, but after a while, I realised that it was the best thing for her. I had looked after her for so many years, and this was the last thing I could do to take her of her.
You always do the best you can for your animals, and I am sure they know how much we care.
I don't have any advice for you I'm afraid - I wish I did. I will be thinking of you all, because I know how hard it is.
