I went through this with my cat of 12 years, Simba when he had liver cancer (or was killed by that cat food scare years back). Awful experience, and the vets suck you dry knowing that the cat is doomed.

You might want to consider measuring his/her diet by their wight. Lowing calorie intake has been proven to extend life expectancy and improve health. They say %30 less is best but maybe just cut back %15 by his/her weight.

Oh, you should split that up into 2-3 meals per day to keep metabolism high.

[QUOTE=marcop;19761308]Sorry to hear your cat isn't doing well. LittleGrayGuy sends his best . . . .


I used to think the only good cat was a dead cat.... but as long as it makes her happy lol

Did you know that Earl Miller is really into cats? Yeah, he shoots them like models on a pro scale, it's pretty cool!

You should try Bach's Rescue Remedy for pets - works pretty well through thunderstorms and trips to the vet!

Very true. It's heart breaking to say goodbye to your little buddy. But ultimately, to keep them around for selfish reasons why they suffer or are in incredible pain is just cruel. Thank them for the years of joy they brought to your life, and put them out of their misery.

:2 cents:

"You may have heard of ?rescue remedy? or other Bach flower remedies. They contain a very small amount of flower material in a 50:50 solution of brandy and water, and are said to work by transmitting a vibrational energy through the memory of water (not the same as homeopathy, but equally implausible).

Bach was trained as a homeopath and even created some bacterial homeopathic nosodes, but then he branched out. He used his intuition to access a psychic connection to plants. He would hold his hand over different plants to see which one affected his emotional state, and he would collect the dew from that plant to use as a remedy."

Sorry Emily, but rescue remedies are total snake oil. Well, actually they are mainly brandy.

Yes, I spent 4 months and many thousands of dollars trying to keep my cat alive, but finally I realized that it was for me, and not for him, and all the treatments were just making him miserable.... so I just did what I could to make him comfortable and let him go....




:(:(

Ugh I'm very sorry to hear that.

Some raw chicken livers or gizzards.

Thanks Emily and Jenni :)
