Puff is near the end of her time with insulinoma. She has been on the secon=
d meds now for awhile, but she's crashing every few days no matter what she=
eats. She is on both Prednisone and Diazoxide at near max doses. She's abo=
ut 6.75 years old.

I would like to know what would be the best way for her to leave us. I watc=
hed our first, Deezel, die from a seizure and it was pretty horrible for he=
r. I would like to know how to avoid that, if at all possible. I don't want=
to just arbitrarily put her down. How do I know when it's time for her? Ho=
w can I make her more comfortable near the end?
