I just need affirmation I am making the right decision. She is not eating period. Vet says her quality of life will be minimal.. I don't want her to suffer but I dont want to regret this. I have tried reglan, (for nausea) not helping
Thank you. She is not really swollen, very lethargic. We gave her fluids when she was examined and her body absorbed it immediately. My vet at the same clinic has moved on and I would not be able to get an appointment with her till next week.I just want to express my sympathy for what you, and your cat, are going through.
You said he isn't your regular vet? Can you get a second opinion?
I don't know about cats, but in humans, a high potassium level can be very serious. It can affect your muscles, including your heart. If the heart doesn’t pump efficiently, the blood doesn’t move through the system. It would also affect urination. I would think, that she would need IV fluids to help lower the potassium level. Is she swollen? If so, her kidneys and her circulatory system may be shutting down.
Again, I am so sorry for your plight. It cannot be easy, to be in the position of making a decision like this.
thank you.Sadly, we cannot tell you whether you should or should not let your kitty go. I doubt if there's a single member here who hasn't faced the same issue with the much the same feelings. It is, painfully, an individual decision for each of us. It's so hard.

Please know that you and your beloved kitty are in our thoughts.
