i have only just caught up with this, i am truly sorry that the steroids couldn't help him have more time with you, but you gave him a fantastic few years and end to life, and that is the most important. RIP little one

I had my rabbit Arthur put to sleep Tuesday so you are in my thoughts in these sad days.
I'm sure they are somewhere at the rainbow with no pain anymore.
Love

Sorry to hear about Arthur  :hug: you're in my thoughts too xx

There is nothing I can say that will take the pain away, but like many here I know what its like to lose a special cat.  But if thoughts are roses, a huge bouquet will be in your hearts from all of us in Schui's memory.

The Greatest Gift

I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.

It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.

It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.

The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.

For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.

Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.

I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.

So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."

Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....

Unfortunately we've had to let Schui go this morning  :'( since the last steroid injection (which was a 2 week one as I asked the vet this morning) he didn't improved at all really.  He's been wobbly on and off and we've helped him when he's been like this (thankfully I've been in to see to him) but from yesterday morning he just lay on the settee so we guessed his time had come.  We slept in the lounge with him until 3 this morning then went to bed and when I got up at 6 he'd weed himself so I washed him and rang the vets and booked him straight in.  We're absolutely devastated Steve was with me and he's just gone in to work, the house feels lost without my little Schui  :'( I'll post more later when I feel up to it.  Thanks for caring xx

Janey you are doing a wonderful job with Sdhui and its at times like this that we have our wonderful support network of Purrs to be here for us

Pallative care is often a very special time it was for us with Miss gracie and her cancer and Gem and her FIP - it is some of the happiest times and we also shed lots of tears

Your vet should be able to help - we used mushed up kitten food mixed with cat milk for both our G girls and they could lap it up

there's an awful lot to be said for palliative care, for both you and Schui, Janey. It's hard work, but can be so rewarding and creates an even deeper bond with your little one. Try not to give up hope.  I don't know about these long lasting injectable steroids. I know we've had better results with the prednicare pills.  I hope the a/d works too. sending big hugs  :hug:
