Today I made the difficult decision to put my cat to sleep .Ive had him since he was a baby and he lived to the age of 12. Recently he had been having some GI issues , washing his paws in his water bowl(which he never did before ) not drinking much , not being able to eat, if he did he would constantly throw up . I took him to the vet and ended up spending $600 to get him cleaned out and they didn't find an underlying problem . He was good for a few weeks and then the problem happened again . He would usually just sleep most of the time, but still being able to walk pretty well. He hasn't pooped in weeks and was throwing up again. He lost some weight and I could feel his spine and he felt more boney . I decided that at this point I would put him to sleep , I didn't want to wait to the point where he was unable to move or to skinny . I arrived to the vet and she treated stitch for the constipation the last time, and seen he lost another pound , and agreed that this was probably a good route to go. I thought about maybe cleaning him ou again and charging it to my card , because I don have that type of money right now . When it was all said and done i couldn help but feel regret , I wish I could go back and just have him get cleaned out and give him another go . I don't know if I was right or wrong , but I miss him immensely .
