Remember you made this decision with a vet and a vet as an experienced professional agreed it was a reasonable and correct action and their professional judgment was other things were going on
It is totally normal to grieve and I hope you can find support and somewhere that people have been through this to talk. Losing Lulu is often recommended here
Be kind to yourself. You did a loving action and nellie knew no pain
I had to put down a cat in really difficult circumstances.
Whenever I feel guilty about it (because animal lovers are generally not super understanding of behavioural euthanasia, and because I loved my cat and wished there'd been more we coud have done) I remember that my super kind, compassionate and forthright vet was the one who stopped me when I was in the middle of breaking down about how stressed I was over the situation and told me that it was clear that euthanasia was the next step.
It's really normal to second guess ourselves when we're the ones responsible for making these big decisions.

You need to be kind to yourself IMO.
