My cat is 11.
She has always had a tendency to vomit, and is tiny. She is 6 pounds. I found it getting worse, and so we went to the vet. Fast forward blood tests, 600$ later, no official diagnosis, home with antibiotics and nausea pills. This was 3 weeks ago.
Everything seemed good, better if you will, and the treatment ended, and back to the same. My husband went with her last week, she offered to do an ultrasound, 600$, but even then she wasn’t sure she could know for sure, she “thought” she felt a tiny something. More anti-nausea pills, 150$ more, and special diet.
My husband went today as her stomach was distended, and the vet says she now feels the lump as the size of a small orange. I come home to this news, more meds, even morphine. The vet says she is not suffering, she can not say how long, weeks, months ? But we will see it. I don’t want her to suffer. I certainly don’t want to find her gone or gasping. It is beside her pancreas.
I’m so torn, this was my daughter’s cat. She chose her, adopted her, part of me just can’t let her go. I don’t know if I should just make an appointment Monday and let her go ? I’ve been crying all night.
The vet talks about quality of life. She just lies there, she still eats well, but that’s about it.
