I've had my cat for 8 years. she is only 9 now. I adopted her at aprox 1 year. over the years she has been diagnosed with asthma, kidney stone, Irratable bowl disease, iratable bladder disease and now arthritis. and now has lost 4 lbs in the past 5-7 months. i used to have to clean her butt about 3 times a day after going to the bathroom because she couldn't reach down there to clean it herself. she has always pee'd everywhere in my house. she has had multiple asthma attaches, has has sneezed blood out of her nose, she has thrown up all of her life. overall, she has had one thing after the other gone wrong with her. i have loved her like anyone could love something with outmost affection and committment.
now, i am tired. she has been waking me up all hours of the night, multiple times. i moved in with my boyfriend a little over a year ago, and she has pee'd on the hardwood floors and rotting them out. he has been very patient.
why i'm feeling guilty...
the doctor said the next step is to get an ultrasound and more testing on her to see why she is loosing so much weight. i don't want to put her through anymore pain. she has has her anal glands expressed several times, needles injected in her bladder a few times, blood drawn, multiple x-rays and she often goes to the bathroom when i take her to the vet. now, i have the vet come to me.
my health has gone down hill. i have lived my life for my angel. i sit on the floor and brush her when i'm home..for hours. i have chosen to sleep on the couch and monitor her at night...(she wakes me up in the bedroom and wants me to go downstairs with her, if i don't, she poops on the floor.) my boyfriend and i are not on the same page..for obvious reasons. so, i'm torn. she has been demonstrating signs of pain...shivering...and she moans now.
i'm putting her down on monday. the guilt is overwhelming. but i feel that doing it now, rather than later, is better.
