Thank you. I'm very sorry that others have experienced what I'm experiencing.
I know intellectually that if I hadn't given her the medications all along, she'd have been dead long ago. I know that if I hadn't gone to see the specialist and had my vet research the treatments, she would have been dead long ago. I even remember that we gave her a home knowing there was something wrong with her, although we mistakenly believed it was a heart problem, and that I had promised everyone that we would take her in and love her and make her life as pleasant as possible, but that I would not go to extraordinary lengths to keep her alive. Yet at this moment, I *feel* guilty of killing her, no matter what I know intellectually.
Fortunately I have a rotten memory, and this will probably seem like a distant dream in the not too distant future.
