In her last week I kept thinking she was just going to go in her sleep, she was such a fighter and not making it easy on herself. But, when her breathing got bad, that's when I took her to the vets to help her on her way and be put to sleep. It was the right call as she was staring to get fluid in her lungs, so not a peaceful way to die.

I think you will know when/if he needs a helping hand.
She said something similar to these replies- to just monitor him and you will just ‘know’ if he needs to be put down- it seems a big weight at the moment and a big worry but I know t is the cycle of life 😔. I am montoring has breathing as sometimes it seems quite shallow but then eases out again but if he sounds wheezy i will take him in straight away.

Thanks for much for understanding and relying to me 😊
