I helped catch a mother cat and her strayed kittens, Cats Protection gave me a trap and I went back to check every hour untill they were all caught. We think the cat belonged to students that left her behind when course ended. Happens alot here near the university. I looked after them until...

why was he licking inside his mouth like it taste horrible? wot was it? I was going to look it up online but afaid I might get pics and horific details.

I don't understand he said it goes into the mussel not the vein?

Sorry I should explain better, I asked the vet to put my cat into a gentle sleep while I held him (heard others have done this) then once asleep I would leave the room while they did the 2nd injection to stop the heart. But vet said it would be better if I did it other way round.eg: wait...

I have read all the posts and know I am not alone in my sadness, but I am having such a hard time accepting what I had to do to my nearly 15 yr old cat. I am not sure the vet did the proceedure according to what I asked I don't want to explain to fully on here as may upset people but I need to...

Now I am worried about people say foxes dig them up, I bought a lovely big plant pot planted it 1/3 into garden soil, covered top with stones, should I do something and what to keep foxes off? I put him in pot and not ground cos I could move house any day/me month now, only moving cos I have...

I went for a 2nd opinion, not sure I got one. Did not get a ultrasound done, but made convinced he had huge tumor that would make him suffer. Am I paranoid the vet said things, it was as if he had spoke to my old vet before we went into room, I had given him report beforehand, He was...

Thank You all for your help. Smokey was put to rest today. Had 2nd opinion who agreed it would be best, he would have only got worst. I can't talk about it anymore. So no replies req. Thank You. Marie ;(

Thank You,

I get mixed replies, some people say make sure he can't be safe before doing the last resolt, others say do it now sooner than later, the vet says better he dies at home. I have a feeling I am too late he looks like he is going tonite. He is not crawled up in servere pain, I have standby pain...

It's not money or emotions really I don't want to put him down for no reason, if 2nd vet tomoro says nothing can be done and he really does have a mass and fluid is giving him pain etc. I will do the humane thing. It's a roller coaster, one min he looks like his going and I wish I had of ended...

FIXME: needs styling from "post-user-info" Sarah Ann u said stool build up can cause a lump, would it be very big and very hard? and would it create the fluid? Thanks

PTS is Put to sleep

But is it fair to let another vet poke and prod him about to prob do tests already done, or will they look at notes and go straight for scan or blood tests or fluid test? current vet says let him die peacefully at home. which he will --but maybe from constpation. his belly is uncomfortable but...

by the way she took a while to print up notes, I think she was adding or taking something on/off. she was typing but I could be wrong.
