I posted two mins ago as she keeps peeing in the hallway but wanted your opinions on this too. She has a neurological prob which has lead to her losing the use of her back legs other than to shuffle herself along. She also has mini fits from time to time. She is under the care of a vet who strongly suspects that there is no way back for her other than to be referred to a specialist which I cannot afford to do Sad. She is eating and drinking normally and still clambers up to the settee for some fuss and cuddles. Is it fair to keep her going like this or does she sound happy? She does stink of pee as she cannot raise her hind quarters to pee or poo. Thanks for your insight.

Oh dear. It's awful when they are like this. Ours was very similar and we had the chat about having her put to sleep but she died in her sleep on New Years morning. I do feel a little guilty that we left it too long, though. I don't know.

You can only do your best by them, Stripey and sometimes you don't get it quite right on the day. (I didn't myself, once.) So be it - nothing to beat yourself up about.
