Thank you. I've been feeling guilty ever since I made the decision to put her down. Diablo was the first pet that I, personally, ever took in. Sure we had pets growing up, but a few months after moving away from home and having my own apartment, I thought I'd take in a stray cat. So this is my first time making the decision to put an animal down. I know she was in pain and was suffering.... but I still made the decision to end her life. The vet did push me in the general direction, but didn't come right out and tell me to put her down. The logic side of my brain says it was the right thing to do, but the emotional side can't help feel the guilt of putting my friend down.
