Aloha YurtGirl,
Sorry to hear about your Max. My wife and I have had to go through this 3 times in the last 18 months. I know how heart wrenching it is.
We would have liked to have had a home visit, but got the same responses you have gotten. I know that is your first choice. If you cannot find a vet to visit, the Humane Society in Keaau may be the next best option.
On the first two occasions the Humane Society was where chose to go. We did not have to bring them inside, as the folks came out to the back of the SUV.
The workers were very kind and compassionate and my wife was able to be there and comfort our dogs. Familiar smells, their blankets, and my wifes touch were what they last experienced.
Likely we would have gone there again, but the last (which was this past wednesday) happened @ the vet after a sudden ilness.
I know this is tough. Good luck, and if you find a vet who will work with you please post their info if they are OK with it.
***Just noticed that this post was started a while ago, and your last post was 18 months ago, were you able to find a vet?****
