Still, even if they aren't aware of much, I think they sense the presence of "their person" and are comforted by it. You obviously loved Ashes very much.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306851407588054538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988729.post-87857353511667343642007-04-11T21:04:00.000-04:002007-04-11T21:04:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry.I'm so sorry.whimsical brainpanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158339502955458999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988729.post-8138886252195102262007-04-11T19:06:00.000-04:002007-04-11T19:06:00.000-04:00I'm sorry about Ashes.

What you described with the going around in circles and subsequent stuff is what the vet told me might happen with Muldie. When they are going in circles they are somehow trying to catch their breath, which seems odd, but, that's what my vet told me. Their blood isn't holding the oxygen and they are trying everything to keep breathing - hence the panting. The vet said Muldie had maybe two days to live, so we took him home for the day and returned to the vet just before they closed that day and let Muldie go to heaven a day early. We figured they had a spot waiting for him and we didn't want to put him through any more struggling. But, the vet also said that at that point the dying pet isn't in any pain and has no real concept of what's going on. It's just their body reacting to shutting down. So, while it seemed violent and disturbing to us humans watching, the pet was at that point not aware of anything. So Ashes didn't experience any trauma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
