    Re: Humane euthanasia-- n/ quick help

    I think that in the future, I could do the fridge for brumation & then the freezer... but there was this nagging thought in my head that he still might feel uncomfortable, if not outright pain... and I couldn't bare the thought of knowing he was in the fridge every time I walked by. I guess this was just an emotional one for me and I HAD to know it was instant.

    Jamie's a good guy. The things I've made him do...

    I downloaded the video I made of him struggling to eat but then I couldn't watch it. I want to post it for anyone who may want to see the symptoms, but not yet.

    Lori,
    So sorry to hear of your predictament.... I know it's very hard on you!
    I nursed my female Butler, Samantha, along by giving her antibotic shots every 3 days for over 3 months and much $$$ cost to try and eliminate her respitory infection, without success... Should have put her down much earlier in hindsight...
    Watch her suffer and get weaker by the week, all for the false hope she would recover. Was not to be...
    Just lost 2 out of the 4 juvenile Similis's I purchased from Scott Felzer over the past 30+ days. Found the first one upside down in her water bowl and the 2nd one got weaker and limp over a 3 week period and finally died. Wish I new why or what I could have done better or different to save the 2nd Similis?
    It soo hard when you get attached to any pet and have to put them down. Especially our pet garter's which we invest so much time with...
    Hang in there!!!
    Jack
