I've had my cat for 10 years and I love him, but he suddenly started growing this tumor. And the poor thing probably won't live more than a few weeks but we don't want him to be in pain so we're putting him to sleep when he starts showing pain. I don't know if I want to be there when he is. My mom said I could go, but I don't know if I would want to see him then, but I don't know if I'll regret not going? Help?
i was in the same situation with my dog a couple years ago. she got sick really quick but it was almost if it happened over night, so they told us we had to put her down or she'd need a blood transfusion for any hope to live over night, and that was the day we brought her in, so we put her to sleep. it was soo hard but i know that i would have very much regretted not being there with her. its a nice comfort to them to be around their families, and ironically it does sort of ease you too because you get a kind of "closure" i guess. so if i were you id go, so you could get in those last few minutes with him. yeah its very hard and i started bawling the moment they took her back, but its better to be with them than at home. good luck and best wishes
