Thank you everybody.
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write on the internet but my Suzie died at midnight (nearly two hours ago).
Thankfully I was with her at the time, I think she had a seizure or heart attack. It hurt me so much but I'm glad I was there for her final moments...
Thank you all for your support.
She hasn't moved since she collapsed, I've been with her constantly as I know she needs me now.
I've known this day was coming for a while but it doesn't make it any easier.
Thank you both, I think she's ready to go and if I'm honest I don't think she'll see through the night.
I'm going to stay with her and give her all the love I can.
I'm not ready to say goodbye to her though.
I don't know if she threw all the pills up, it seemed to be mainly milk.
She's had an upset stomach a couple of times since she was first diagnosed and had the odd day when she's been off her food, but this is the worst she's been since she first became ill in 2012.
She hasn't moved since she...
I'm regretting giving her the tablets now, she went back to her 'nest', sat up and threw up all of her tablets and her milk.
She then just seemed to collapse, I thought she was about to die. She's quiet now and I've covered her with her blanket to keep her warm.
Thanks Jcat, she's just had her tablets with no real sign of distress, and has even had a drink of milk, though she still doesn't want food.
I cuddled her after she had her tablets and she seemed a little happier.
Wonderful post.
My 17 year old Suzie was diagnosed with heart disease and given 6 weeks to live.
That was 18 months ago, and after 18 months of giving her various tablets it seems that she is now in her final days.
She's been my rock for 17 amazing years and I can't believe that our time...
The problem there is that she's just not interested in food.
I bought her some fresh chicken earlier, which she loves and would normally eat, but she just didn't want it.
Thank you for your kind words.
She's had an amazing life and has been a fighter (she had a womb infection about 10 years ago, had a heart attack during the operation to remove her womb and she's amazed everybody at the vets by surviving for 18 months after being given 6 weeks to live!)
I don't...
She's always been comfortable going to the vet for check ups, however in her present state I'm not sure I'd want to put her through the distress of putting her in her box and taking her.
Hi, thanks for replying.
She's always been really good at taking her tablets, after nearly 18 months on them I think she accepts it as part of her daily routine.
However last night was very difficult, she seemed really distressed while I was giving them to her and I'm worried that doing it...
Hi, hope somebody can help me here.
My 17 year old cat Suzie was diagnosed with heart disease in June 2012 (she was originally given 6 weeks to live, but a year and a half later she's still with me).
Over the last couple of days she has begun to show the classic symptoms of a dying cat...
