I've just now read this thread, and by this time, I suppose Roo has gone to the Bridge. CatRancher, share the peace and joy that Roo feels now that he has reached "furball heaven" where "it won't hurt any more," as MCW put it. You stopped his pain even though it hurt you, and that is a very kind and loving thing to do.
Creator God, on the sixth day You formed the land-dwelling animals and human beings. You gave to humanity the responsibility of caring for the creatures You made and brought them before Adam to see what he would call them. Today we come before You to give thanks for the life of Your creature whom we have called by name, Roo. We ask Your comfort for CatRancher's sorrow at the end of Roo's life, and entrust him to Your eternal love. (From the funeral service I wrote for my furbabies.)

Thank you for sharing your story, Ailuromaniac. You love for your three kits who crossed the bridge shines through your words.
Shelley, thank you for your words of wisdom. There is room here for all kinds of beliefs and for those who do not believe in a higher power. What is most important is that we support each other through very painful moments like these.
Great Dane started another thread for CatRancher and Boo. Let's go there for additional posts.

Dear loves, please let's be kind to each other.
Whenever we have to deal with life and death directly, it is extremely difficult. Whatever decision is made, we will agonize. And this is not the time to say whose opinion is best. We are all individually responsible for our own households. We make our own decisions and we live with them, and because we are honorable people, we do the best we can with what we've got.
I understand both positions. My husband's living will stipulated he wish that ALL methods be used to keep him alive. And all methods were used, because those were his wishes. God took him gently from me, and I still grieve for his passing.
With animals, we cannot always understand their wishes, so we try to be responsible and compassionate pet owners. Sometimes we can give them a peaceful leave-taking without any intervention. Other times, we do something to stop a torment that will continue and will grow worse unless we do something.
Death is different for humans and our pets. With humans, our free will and our knowledge of possibilities come into play. However, animals run more on instinct and living in the present, and we have to make the calls for them and talk to God while we do it.
And that right there is the hell of it. No matter what we do, we always feel as though we could have done better.
We cannot stay the hand of death.
And right now I am holding Vicki and CatRancher and Roo and HM and KW and Ann and Shelley and Bobbi and Eileen and Instinct and all of you close, close to me. We're all hurting right now. Let's all be very kind to each other. Let's remember that we do love each other.
For dear loves, at the end of the day, all we have is each other and God.
