Hello, Thank you so much for telling me my story helped you. I feel happy to know that Momo’s experience brought some help to other cat owners :redheartpump: I’m not sure how nervous your cat gets during vets, but for my cat she would stay calm so long as she was hidden under the blankets in...

Final update: We put Momo to rest on Sunday afternoon. The past few days we have all been mourning and it took me a while to finally write this. On that day I did not get any sleep and stayed awake knowing this would be the last time I can be with Momo. I took care of her as usual and fed her...

My family and I have set an appointment for Sunday…. We have spent the past few days spoiling Momo with so much of her favorite things. Although her body moves fine, my mom finds it hard to look at her jaw and wants to let her rest. Her pain comes and goes as we increase the dosage day by day...

Thank you so much for your kind words :hearthrob: I got a bit teary eyed just reading this and I will definitely be here when I need someone to talk to:hugs:

Right now it’s a mixture of emotions that I can’t exactly describe. I’m hurt, but at the same time content with what I’ve done to help Momo thus far and knowing I can give my last goodbye to her. This is the first time I will have to euthanize a pet so the whole process is a bit jarring to think...

Update: Just came back from the vet, things are getting bad for Momo as expected. The vet took a look at her and said that the tumor has grown a lot more than before and judging from how it looks it’s quite painful for her. Her weight hasn’t dropped much and she still can eat liquid foods on her...

The thing that has me conflicted is that Momo’s body is active. Some days she will behave like usual and suddenly next day she will hide and sleep. Today she is feeling good so she’s eating again and not hiding. I’ve got in touch with the vet and we decided to adjust the gabapentin to every 8...

I’m sorry for the late reply. Momo’s condition has been going up and down the past week. Some days she eats well and other days she’s in too much pain to eat. The past couple days her mouth has been bleeding excessively every time she eats on her own and it’s been a struggle having to clean her...

I’ve asked the vet about the feeding tube and they didn’t recommend it but I assume that would be the last case scenario if I did plead with the vet about that. I just don’t know if that’s worth it for Momo to go under anesthesia at her age but if it gets really bad I’ll have to discuss the...

The vet wouldn’t recommend a feeding tube especially if she’s still alert and conscious. They said the syringe by mouth is the best method.

Update: Momo has been losing weight recently. Couple days ago she started having struggles eating again. The medication helps with the pain only for a few hours and most of the time she is loopy and lethargic. She does have an appetite but the food stings her mouth so she can only take a few...

She is doing fine! The medication seems to work for her and she is eating like usual again. She does get loopy the first hour after giving the gabapentin but she is able to eat on her own again. The medication is given every 12 hours and she is able to eat without pain for maybe 8 hours before...

Thank you so much for helping me during this stressful time. It’s reassuring to know I can rely on people who went through the same situation as I am. It’s times like these that support and words of comfort make a big difference mentally and emotionally. Regardless what happens in the future I’m...

That is pretty much how it is with Momo, she would come out every couple hours for food and water. Her preference would change every time with certain foods and I have to switch back and forth between 4 different kinds. I also crush dry food that she used to eat in water the same way as you did...

Update: Just returned from the vet and it was such a long wait I feel exhausted. Had to wait 2 hours for the vet because he was doing a surgery right before Momo was next in line on the waitlist. I had a long discussion with the vet and I got all the answers I needed which is great. Momo got...

The vet isn’t here today but will be in tomorrow. They did say they will send him an email about it but either way I can’t get it until he prescribes it.

Update: Since yesterday Momo has been in pain and struggling to eat. I noticed yesterday afternoon her mouth started bleeding and every time she tried to eat she would paw at her mouth and start to gag. Even with her usual medication she still looked to be in pain. She didn’t eat as much...

I got the refills today so Momo only missed one dose which they said isn’t serious as long as she’s back on schedule. I already gave her the medicine today and she’s doing fine. I did tell them about not getting a call back and they did remind the vet about that when they asked for the refill...

I would book an appointment if it was an urgent matter like if Momo was in bad condition. They did tell me that the vet is often busy, but that they notified him about my concerns so I figured I’d wait for him to call me since Momo is doing fine at the moment. I already requested a refill so the...

I am going tomorrow anyway since I need the refill and I plan to tell them in person about my concerns and see that if I don’t get a call again then I’m going to book an appointment instead.
