@Linkat,
Re the eye drainage.
You made me think about when Jezzer died.
She had been getting smaller and smaller, no interest in eating, just sleeping alot.
I would watch her sometimes to see if she was still breathing.
On a Sunday afternoon, she looked like she was dozing, her eyes half open. I put my hand on her head, and she didn't move. She had some gunk in the corner of her eye, and I moved my thumb down and wiped it away, gently of course.
Looking back, she must have been more asleep than awake, because moving my thumb across her face made her start, like I woke her up. Just a tiny head movement. However, (and I felt bad about this for awhile, until I realized it was inevitable) that little startle started a heart attack.
I watched her breathe really shallow, and her pupils dialated. I felt horrible, thinking I'd done something to her.
I got my husband and told him she was dying. We were both afraid of her, well, not dying...being in pain....So we were going to drive her a couple of blocks down to the vet to put her asleep.
We barely got down the block when she died in his arms. If she was going to die anywhere, that was the perfect place, as she was his baby girl.
