It's so hard not to feel guilty but it helps a lot to know that you all think I did the right thing. I'm sure the guilt will ease in time as I do know it was the best thing for her. I'm glad she's no longer suffering. I will always miss her, but I will always hold her in my heart. We opted for...

Thank you all so much for your kindness and support, I wanted to reply to your messages last night but I was too distraught. Tears are still blurring my vision but I just wanted to let you all know that I really appreciate your help throughout this horrible time. Thankfully the process was all...

So it's getting near the time to bring Kiara to the vets, this is horrible :( I hope she doesn't get too stressed out. She keeps turning around and looking at me and I just wish I knew what she were thinking. I know this is the best thing to do for her, I just wish it didn't have to be this way :(

Ok, thank you. I know it is too late to do anything now anyway :( I was just concerned about what it was. My dad and I looked into getting our vets to do an at home euthanasia but they are unavailable until Thursday or Friday which I think is much too long to wait, considering how poorly she...

Are tooth problems a complication of kidney disease? I have noticed yesterday and today with the small morsels Kiara has eaten, there is a very worrying and loud sounding grinding/clacking kind of noise, like 2 teeth are hitting or grinding together. Does anyone know what this is? This doesn't...

I'm so sorry to have made you cry, and I'm so, so sorry to hear of the loss of your Kiara :( it is so hard to lose our fluffy little companions, especially when we have to make the call on when exactly that will be. It is such a hard decision to make, I'm scared of doing the wrong thing and keep...

Hi DreamerRose, thank you also for your response. I'm sorry to hear that :( I'd be scared to let her hang on too long until she was miserable, I think she is already getting to that stage, although she still purrs so loudly when I talk to her and pet her which I think lulls me into falsely...

Hi Margd, thank you for your kind words and advice.  You're right about her having problems in most of those areas. She doesn't seem to be in pain but I know cats are good at hiding discomfort. I'm sure she must be very nauseous though and if she's refusing tuna which she usually devours then...

Hi Shurples, thanks for your response. You're right, that's a dangerous line of thinking to go down. I think she is, however much I wish it weren't true. Thank you for your help. 

Hi everyone, I'm new on the forum and looking for some advice.  My cat Kiara is 15 years old, she's been my furry little friend since I was 7 and since she was a kitten (along with her sister who was sadly knocked down on the road about 6 years ago). She has been diagnosed with chronic renal...
