Having to take him up and sit in on the procedure was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It still makes my want to cry just thinking about it.
But he was in a lot of pain, and wasn't going to get better. Sometimes you can keep your beloved pet around for selfish reasons, which is tortuous to the pet, because they just want to be released from the pain.
You'll know when the time is right. You just have to sack up and do it. You'll feel terrible for a long time, but eventually you'll be able to reconcile it because its the humane thing to do.
Picture of my old friend Mr. Kitty attached. I still miss him. He was my pal.

Great post. We got the okay from the doctor to keep her alive for 2-4 weeks as he seemed to believe she wasn't suffering. We went in with the mind state that we may have to put her down today. Obviously if it worsens we will do the right thing and end her suffering. Just a shitty situation all around.
