Carolina, I've appreciated your support and concern so much throughout this past week. I never dreamed it would turn out this way although I had a bad gut feeling about this latest ordeal. I honestly thought Gizmo was going to turn the corner with the antibiotics etc. and stay with me for...

Thanks Isanders for your support. It's amazing what guilt and anxiety plagued me but I know Gizmo was thoroughly loved for really what was a long life for a cat. It will be an adjustment getting used to not seeing him around, I was the one in the family that spent the most time with him and he...

Thank you for your thoughts. That is surprising to hear your cat had a tumor in the same area. I thought mine was a freaky, rarity here! I actually got used to seeing my cat with this tumor but then when people would visit, I realized they would look startled to see the tumor. I didn't know...

No, no one else is having any health problems in my family yet at the same time, people feel like they get tired when at my home. We've actually even speculated about this many times because it's crossed our minds so often. It's a house built in 1973 but I wonder if there was something used in...

I've had some threads on here addressing some concerns for my cat who I sadly had to have put to sleep last night. Some of the problems I had asked on the older threads but one of Gizmo's longstanding problem was a dumb tumor that was right smack dab in between his eyes on top of his nose. It...

Thank you for your thoughts. I was telling someone how kind everyone has been and she thinks that pet owners have a special kindness in them. I did give it my all for my Gizmo but now I'm going through a self torturing way of thinking...worrying if I put him through unnecessary stress with...

Nolia, Keep an eye on her. Mine did the same thing with just taking a few licks of his wet food, a few bites of his dry food that he used to inhale practically. Anything that is out of the ordinary deserves your concern. Sometimes though in the past, my cat would seem to lose his appetite but...

Thanks Ruby for your kindness. It's reassuring somehow to have another person going through the same pain, it makes it a little easier to know I'm not alone. I thought my cat would last maybe another year or two and was kind of shocked that his health took a nosedive like this. The house...

Thanks everyone for your wonderful support. It's with a super-heavy heart that I write this latest as I made the dreaded decision to do what I felt was by far the most humane thing for Gizmo tonight. He was going downhill despite my and my sister's best efforts to keep him going. It was just...

I have an older post on here about my cat Gizmo who is going through a bit of a crisis. He pretty much stopped eating for the most part last Tuesday and so now I've been trying to get some nutrition into him by force feeding with a syringe. It takes both my sister and I to do it as he...

THANKS so much for the advice. I was just worrying about it because I had no idea how much I should aim for. I spoke to my Vet today and she insisted like you did, that I make sure Gizmo gets food in him, that I had to step in and force feed him at this point. Guess she thought he could eat on...
