I think my mother is near end of life. I don’t know what to do.

(Posting for traffic) Just this really. She’s at home. Has a rattle in her throat. Is bed bound. Incontinent. Totally immobile. Has a weakened swallow and today is not swallowing thickened fluids at all. I feel the decline since Xmas day is significant. Do I ring doc? They just don’t seem to want to know. Has anyone any experience they can share?

Of course you're not being hysterical. It's totally understanddable to be deeply upset at your Mum's suffering and near death. I hope the doc does come out - there are drugs they can prescribe if she is distressed.

Wishing you and your family peace

You are in no way being hysterical. You just need the proper medical help and support from your siblings. Remember to look after yourself too.
