Hello. I’m so very sorry for your loss. It sounds as if Frank had a long and loving life and I doubt that he was in shock when you found him if he was used to his surroundings. It was more likely something much more (medically) serious and he was lucky you found him when you did, so you could spend the last moments with him. He knows he was loved and he knows that you did the best thing you could. I think we all would have done the same.

You must not beat yourself up about this, there is nothing worse than a regret that you waited TOO long to say goodbye by prolonging suffering with unnecessary treatment or ineffective medication.

9 years is a wonderful age. Focus on the good memories and post some photos on here, it really does help.

(((Frank)))
