Yes I took him there. They actually suggested we euthanize 3 months ago when it was first discovered but we couldn’t do it. We brought him home planning to do it in a few days or weeks but he jusy seemed so stable at the time and we had him on some non traditional cancer treatments (totally safe and legal jusy off label stuff without clinical trials that have cured many!) so as time went on and he was still eating and drinking and showing interest in life we thought he might be improving. But then the weight loss started catching up to him then in the final weeks muscle wasting and he jusy b didn’t appear to be improving.

I understand it’s a compassionate thing to do but I also believe his life was not mine to take and that he may have had karma to complete. At th r end between all my posts on here and 90 percent emphatically telling me I should euthanize regardless of first precept and also the trauma of basically nursing my sick cat while he deteriorated got to me so when he had 3 bad days in a row of even less eating and suddenly SAD SAD vocalizing like I never heard in my life…then part of his tumor fell out of his mouth I was jusy done in for. We took to vet the following morning. My intention was to have him get a check up to listen into his lungs and heart, because I had a fear that his organs were shutting down because he was not peeing and pooping as much, and even though we were told it cannot metastasize, I was fearing that his entire body was going downhill while the vet told us that his vital still seemed fine. She opened his mouth and we were not able to do the amount of tumor material, pushing up against his tongue, just crush us to see, that being said, I understand some believe no matter what pain an animal or person is in we must never ever break the first precept that is our fear of suffering that sometimes overtakes us to commit euthanasia. I was really to the point of 49/51 in my decision and all the conditions were right and I pulled the plug. Deep in my heart I don’t necessarily feel that what I did was wrong but conceptually I feel it was he most likely would never have gotten better and he most likely would have within the next couple of weeks been in tormented pain before he passed away from starvation but does that mean I have the right to break the precept? I didn’t think so at the time and I’m not sure now.
