My beloved 17 year old boy Silly is slowly losing some quality of life, but I don’t feel it’s time. He still has a great appetite, purrs,
He has ckd, highest dose amlodipine, but he still recently went almost blind…this or dementia has caused him to be VERY disoriented. If he’s not using the litter or eating he HAS to be beside me or on my lap, or he’s meowling. He’s doped up on gabapentin at night and during the day to help him calm down, but as soon as it wears he’s meowling and anxious again. I work from home and accommodate him 90% of the day but going back to office work upcoming months.
Is this a bad quality of life for him? Am I awful to think he should still be on this earth until we know for sure he’s in pain?
