My 19 year old guy - Augusta - stopped eating Sunday. He was diagnosed with kidney failure; had been maintaining pretty well on wet food and always loved his bowl of food. For him to not want to eat tells me it’s time. He’s been drinking water but as of last night, hasn’t eliminated. I know he’s at that point and he’s seems comfortable by me on his little cat pad on the table by me on the couch.
I have Lap of Love scheduled to come to my house in the morning. This is the best option so that I’m not having to up and move my guy to a vet’s office. But I don’t know if I’m causing him needless suffering by waiting AND I’m in North Florida so I have the added stress of having it be Labor Day and Hurricane Dorian on approach. I think it will take another day for Dorian to hit us but who knows??
I would love to hear from others’ as to their experience at this end stage decision to help me in making the determination of “when”.
Thanks for listening!
