Unfortunately the vet is absolutely stacked out at the moment so trying to get through the receptionist to the vet has proved impossible with regard to another issue.

Thanks so much! That has really put my mind at ease!

Hi all! I've had to move my vet appointment for my cats second round of FelV vaccine to a week later than it was initially. The second round of vaccinations is supposed to be given "three to four weeks" after the initial one. The initial vaccination was done on Monday 13th July. My new...

I just want to say a huge huge thank you to each and every one of you for your beautiful, kind and incredibly comforting words. Mamanyt1953, scarlettleia, Tabbytastic and di and bob. The idea that others have been in similar situations to me and made similar decisions is a huge comfort to me...

Thank you so much Neely. The decision was always straightforward in the past. This situation was a fork leading into a maze. So many questions. I don't do well with questions! If the vet had told me "it would be best to put her to sleep" that would be my answer ticked. I wouldnt carry this guilt...

Thank you so much Furballsmom. I am my own worst enemy in situations like these. It all happened so fast the emotions are piling in now, after the fact. I feel 2 tonnes lighter just formulating them into words on a thread. I will check out your link for sure. Thank you for your beautiful kind...

On Tuesday 28th April 2020 I made the heart wrenching decision to have my 10 year old girl put to sleep. I needed somewhere to put my thoughts into words because what they are doing to my head is killing me inside. She had stopped eating gradually over a month, losing a lot of weight and was...

Thank you all - I will definitely post a lovely mention of her on the crossing the bridge forum - the difficulty will be finding a photo I love the most! In three years she makes up 90% of my camera roll! It was such a shock, and I feel like I've lost my bodyweight in tears, but she will live on...

I just wanted to update you all to let know we have had to make the most difficult decision to unfortunately put Twinkle to sleep today. After the ultrasound today which showed she had an intestinal intussusception and an incredibly enlarged pancreas with no inflammation. The likelihood is that...

Thank you for the reply and links LTS3! A little update, shes back in for another night of fluid treatment and IV medication tonight. I've completely maxed out my insurance for this condition so starting to become rather stressed by it all. Tomorrow first thing I'm taking her to Hull for an...

Thank you for your lovely replies neely & babiesmom5. I will look into the gelatin capsules too! We have to give 2 half pills daily so one capsule would make it much easier. I believe the tramadol is incredibly bitter so hiding that in a gelatine case could help a lot! Thank you for your story...

Thank you everyone for your kind words and good advice! Babiesmom5 - I completely agree. I do not think an overnight stay was nearly enough. A quick Google search said most cats with pancreatitis are hospitalized for 2 to 4 days on average. I believe the vet is (very unfortunately) stretched at...

Hi all, I wanted to seek some advice, words of comfort or just general what to do in this situation. This will be a long read but I want to track every part of her unpleasant journey so far. For context, early March, my 10(ish) year old female cat completely went off food. She ate practically...
