I really appreciate it everyone. Getting over her loss I know will take time. Still hurts right now. I even NEARLY had doubts of not putting her to sleep just yet after she seemed to eat fine this morning. But deep down I just knew she was tired, sick and just needed to get her relieved of the...

Hello Everyone. Sassy now is resting, gone peacefully. It hurted so much to let her go, and be beside her until the very end at the vet. It pained me so much to see her pass quietly. Our vet had administered the injections and upon seeing her, he too deemed she looked worse than seeing her...

Although Sassy has attempted to eat last night, this morning (whether or not Mirataz sort of helping from Sunday), She just looks out of it. She drank water and used litter once but, since last night, she would just sit up in her bed and not lay down in it. My guess is that it bothers her to lay...

ok so the hard part I'm trying to decide on is obviously whether or not to put her to sleep. Yes, we all I believe trying to buy time with our pets when we give them treatments. But like my vet told me on call after sending me this report, he believes the cancer is in the lungs. There would be...

Just got the report. Seems like it is confirmed cancer, just not narrowed down to what specficially. Only thing vet suggested is to try attempting draining fluids and have that tested but also would enable her to breathe better. Of course, there isn't a specific timeline as to how soon it...

@ fionasmom Right. I figured as much that it would add to her quality of life by eating a proper meal or her typical meals. Though omitting the dry food as she has difficulty with it. But her wet food I know she enjoys it. I know the labored breathing and chest fluid must be bothering her, so...

So I just got off a call with the vet about an hour ago. I don't know why he hadn't sent out yet the Xrays...but he's going to and should hear back from him within an hour or so from now. Bloodwork is what he called me on and surprisingly most of it is normal. But I guess that isn't indicative...

Right. I'm now in some trial phase to see how long this Mirataz will last. At least the half dose has helped her eat substantially - quite near her normal amount, and without making her vocal or hyper thankfully. How long this lasts will determine how often I give Sassy mirataz. I do give it...

Right. After all, after call with vet on Friday evening, he said Sassy's fluid build up was moderate and not severe at that moment of xrays. Yes I did look at that site along with other ones too. Just wasn't sure it was going to fully work. Sassy just ate another big meal just fine and now is...

Well before with her appetite issues, id just give it once and that would be it and gets her going from there on. I do recall in previous posts I think even about your Feeby, giving her rountely every other day or so yes. I only tried avoiding it because it would get her hyper and vocal. I...

Ok so I guess the mirataz worked quick...even though i used half a strip(dose) onto her ear to prevent her from getting vocal or hyper, and an hour had gone by and made her come into my room easier than the past 2 days and she ate really well. Of course I know its from the Mirataz, didn't know...

I really appreciate that. Today I thought at first Sassy was going to pull through eating on her own. Somewhat did earlier on and even late last night too, but now in this afternoon she just continues to give few licks and walk away. I just administered the Mirataz into her ear, to see if...

Well, that was my thinking thru this afternoon. I had hoped this afternoon or even just now as she woke up on her own from bed, went to drink water again solely and now just sitting outside in living room, this behavior does remind me ALOT like those times she had appetite issues in the past...

Well, the reason I was a bit hesitant was because the vet himself yesterday evening after returning my call, when i asked him on it, he mentioned that while he said it was no problem, he mentioned how usually just upon looking at Sassy's xrays himself, he was able to determine she wasn't doing...

Don't get me wrong. I'd still love her to be around. But she's 21 years old and she isn't going to get younger. Apparently 21 is I believe 100 in human years. She's had a very long life. Outlasted two younger cats. I bonded with her even more after my last cat passed away about 3 years ago...
