We had a cat - Knothead, a 20 lb orange tabby - who was attacked by a coyote in the front yard of our house. A neighbor saw the attack and scared away the coyote.
Knothead was injured but not dead, so we rushed him to an emergency vet clinic.
They worked on him for 2 days, but were unable to save him. In order to spare hime further suffering, he was given the needle.
I held him and stroked him and told him everything was OK while the vet gave him the shot.
Then he was gone.
He was 14 years old and a great cat. He used to join us in bed and lie with his head on my chest.
His sister Splinter, also an orange tabby, is still with us at 17 and going strong.
She is also a great cat.
Yes...While still living at home, just after graduating college. Our dear, beloved beagle, Mrs Abercrombie (Abbey) grew old amd ifirmed and arthritic. She was going blind and deaf and losinf bladder control and had a hard time getting up from a sitting or laying down position. She was 15 as I recall. She'd been my best friend in many ways during my childhood and it pained me greatly to do it, but it pained me more to see her suffer. My brother took her the vet one day before I got home from work and I never got to say "Good Bye" That's what really hurt.
RH add on...excuse the typos in above post...had tears in my eyes....
I was involved in the Knothead situation ... but not as emotionally as Bronco ... I had only known Knothead a couple of years .... but it was the right thing to do for him ... poor Guy.
I, personally, have not had to decide to have an animal put down. Or ... if I have had to decide ... I have totally blocked it from my memory. Lord knows I have had a gajillion pets over the years ....

Thus far no - but Paula had to have Dustin put down. She decided not to inform me of it until after the fact. Wish I could have been there, but alas it was not so.
