My sympathies to you Richard :(

The only pets I've had (except a Gerbil when I was little!) is two cats that we got as tiny, tiny kittens (brother & sister) from our neighbours, about 7 years ago.

A couple of years ago it was noticed that Poppy was forever drinking water, including from the kitchen taps and seemed to be rather thin. Seemingly very quickly after that, she became very lethargic and uninterested in eating, etc.

A visit to the vet suggested that she had a kidney complaint and tablets (for the rest of her life) may sustain her. We were told to start the tablets immediately and things should improve ... unfortunately they didn't and it came to the point on the following Sunday when we decided to take her to the emergency vet.

I drove there telling myself that there was hope ... some other tablets, a bit of intensive care ... but the decision was soon made to let her go rather than prolong her agony. She was "put to sleep" while I held and stroked her.

I held it together until the vet said "I'll let you have 5 minutes to say goodbye" ...  :cry:

The kids were fine about it, helped us bury her in the garden and plant "poppy's tree" (it's not a tree, but that's what they call it :wink: ).

Freddie (Poppy's brother) was a bit weird for a few weeks but soon settled down again and is still going strong.
