When is the appropriate time?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Home pet euthanasia is an option that most people have never thought about. &nbsp;Determining the appropriate time is probably the most often asked question I get over the phone or in emails from my clients regarding euthanasia. &nbsp;In some cases, it is more straightforward than others. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Let me share my own personal experience with my own cat Bogie but first, a brief history is in order. &nbsp;I diagnosed him with chronic kidney disease (aka CKD) over two years ago. &nbsp;Periodically I have monitored his blood and urine lab values. &nbsp;By also monitoring his weight and observing his water and food intake plus his bathroom habits, this has given me a good handle on his physical condition. &nbsp;The decline has been slow. &nbsp;For the most part he has continued to live a happy life, eats well and has trained us to cater to his every need. &nbsp;CKD creates a desire to drink more water. &nbsp;One of his favorite things to do is drink out of the faucet. &nbsp;His choice of faucet depends on where his people and his brother Harley are. &nbsp;Clearly this is usually the kitchen!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-81\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athomepetdr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160324_071104-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\" Increased thirst = polydipsia\" class=\"wp-image-81\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Increased thirst = polydipsia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On Monday (it is now Friday) he declined rapidly. &nbsp;Over the weekend I had noticed his appetite dropping off and his energy level fading. &nbsp;On Monday he vomited repeatedly and otherwise stayed in our bed without moving. &nbsp;I instituted in-home treatment for what I call &#8220;acute on chronic kidney failure.&#8221; &nbsp;That evening my wife and I prepared for the inevitable. &nbsp; That was then. &nbsp;Today I am ecstatic to say Bogie is back with us. &nbsp;He has responded to in-home treatment, is back drinking, eating and giving me inspiration to write this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athomepetdr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160324_092035-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"20160324_092035\" class=\"wp-image-68\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>He is seeking attention and his wonderful &#8220;voice&#8221;
