Re: Poor Merlin


dear Angie, you love your Merlin so much and will always do what is best for him. I 'm praying he will find strength from his treatment and, if not I'm sending you my heartfelt sympathy to do what is right for the old man. God Bless.

Re: Poor Merlin


Thanks everyone - your support is invaluable. Merlin has calmed down and has managed to eat a little sensitivity food. He is now asleep in front of the log fire. He is back to his loving self. He was obviously in pain at the vet. The steroid injection and antibiotic will help calm the pain I'm sure. Just have to wait it out.

I've been thinking about the right time to die. In an ideal situation, I would hope that he would pass away in his sleep. Don't we all wish it was like that? Really, the only thing that will make me be sure that pts is right is if he is in pain or distressed. Otherwise I will feel that I am cheating his natural process on the upward spiritual ladder. That's probably gobbledygook, but it's what I feel.

Re: Poor Merlin


Oh Angie, just saw this; I am so so sorry. I hope and pray Merlin will perk up and get to enjoy at least one more Spring; if not that he will slip away painlessly in his sleep at home, warm and knowing he was surrounded by love all his long life..... (((hugs)))
