Hello everyone-
Not a good first post but...
I just found out yesterday that my 10 year old kitty Nathan is terminal. The vet said the cancer is so spread through out his abdomen (liver and pancreas) that it most likely wouldn't even respond to chemo. I am absolutely devastated (I know you can understand). Now I am faced with the tough decision as to 'when is it time'? He is sleeping a lot and can't jump up on the table any more and he stopped playing with his mousies a couple of months ago. I have been hand feeding him today to make sure he eats. The vet said only I would be able make the determination of when it's time. If it was up to me it would be never ever ever! But I don't want him to suffer- and I don't want it to be too soon. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated as this is the first time I have had to do this. I haven't stopped crying since yesterday and I can't even think straight...
Thank you in advance...
