Hello everyone, I have a cat, Asha, who just turned 10 in February. Also In February I found out she had two lung tumors and the vet suspects it is lung cancer. Her first symptoms were coughing so I suspected it to be asthma.
The vet decided to put Asha on steroids and for about a month she handled them well, less coughing basically. eventually they stopped working as well so, a few days ago I took her to the vet due to her noticeable decrease in water and food intake and as well as the coughing.
They put her back on steroids, antibiotics, and a appetite stimulant. I am currently not giving her the steroids Or antibiotics because she seemed so stressed when I tried to give it to her, coughing fits, drooling, open mouth panting…
A few minutes ago she just had her worst coughing fit and it lasted a minute with the drooling and open mouth panting.
in summary, she still wants everything to do with me, will kinda eat and drink, and will play a bit. I absolutely adore her and my family says it’s not time to put her down.. but I don’t want to see her condition get worse and worse. Please give me some second opinions.
