I have a massive thread going about my cat's battle with large-cell lymphoma, and it is starting to look like he has a particularly drug-resisgant case that is not responding to treatment anymore.
I won't go too far into the particulars (please participate in my thread, linked above, if you want to contribute anything), but I am seriously starting to figure out a plan for euthanasia when the time comes.
Have any if you had it done at home? I'm curious about a few factors...

Have any if you had it done at home? I'm curious about a few factors...
- If you did it this way, are you glad that you did?
- Was your cat more comfortable being at home, or was it still just as stressful, given that a stranger is coming into your home and sticking them with needles?
- Was it a lot more expensive than doing it at your local vet?
- Did the at-home euthasia instill any kind of bad memory that you associate with your home, after the fact? I was told that this can be an issue with some people.
- If you had it done at home, and had a "good" experience (I guess I mean, you are glad you had it done at home vs. otherwise), how did you find the service that does it? My local vet used to offer this, but after she sold the practice to a new owner, they no longer offer it. So I'd be looking for a service from scratch.
