She was such a good girl. She even managed to get upstairs this morning, though I don't know how--she was back downstairs by the time I was abluted & dressed. I gave her a little food mixed with pain medicine, but that just made her miserable--she didn't want to throw up--and could not, in fact, stand up to do it--she tried to sit, but just collapsed. She mewed a little when I put her in the carrier, and when we went into the vet's office, but did not protest when I took her out, or when the vet gave her the first shot. Then I just held her until the sedation took effect, and it took only a minute or two after the second shot.
I wish there had been something we could do, but it seemed all the alternatives would have been traumatic for her and for us. As Jim said, "For a few months we expanded her world by three." And she did seem happy with that--and certainly we were with her. When we got home, there was no one to greet us.
