I'm afraid I won't be a very reliable caretaker as far as the fluids are concerned. Right now my son has strep and I can't even remember to give him his antibiotic. I forget to give myself shots. I'm very bad about cleaning the poor kitties' litterbox anymore. I know what I WANT to do, I just don't know if I would be able to do it. I hate trying to play God!
Do what's in your heart. If you think it may be too much on you it may be, in the long run, best to go ahead and let her go. I feel for you. I know how hard this is.
