Default Re: When to euthanize

Hello. It does sound like she may be ready to go. Is she still eating and drinking at all? Does she seem hunched? Being hunched is a sign they are in pain. It doesn't sound like that - it sounds like she is looking for her final place. They often do leave the nest and find a place to die. Just keep talking gently to her and offer her the odd bit of food - maybe on a teaspoon. If she is no better in the morning and is not eating and drinking then think again maybe. I was told they will often give you a sign when they need help to leave. But if she went say a week without eating or drinking it may be kinder to help her on her way.

I agree though, at the moment it is better just to leave her and give her any little comforts you can.
