How did things go Nikki? It did sound like he was very near his time. Charlie latterly was sleeping after breathing difficulties and then seemed peacefully unconscious but rapid breathing. It's hard when these things happen at a week-end particularly I found as it can force decisions. xxx It was when Charlie had some other symptoms (a bit of a prolapse) I thought he could be in pain and took him to the vets. If he seems to be sleeping peacefully though it can be best to leave them to go in their own way. I was told by others that they will give some kind of sign if they need help, so go with that maybe. Hope you are ok xxx
