    How do you know when 'it's time?'

    Everything has been checked many times. Everything always normal. She does not have any inflammation in her GI tract. PLI normal, liver, WB, RB, kidney, thyroid, B12, folate, everything is within normal limits. That is why I am wondering if the veterinarian is correct about many cancers that...

    How do you know when 'it's time?'

    Yes I have, the only thing I am unsure of is if she is in any pain. The veterinarian said yesterday there is no longer a point to bring her back to the office. It is more stressful than useful. Ultimately she did say that it is my decision either way I go she does not have any other possible...

    How do you know when 'it's time?'

    Thank you for your kind words. Has anyone here experienced a cancer that does not show up on any test? I do not think my veterinarian is incompetent I am looking for support, and possibly someone who has heard of this. I personally think like us humans there is always a test to provide an...

    How do you know when 'it's time?'

    Well, sadly she is still losing weight. This time the vet said that she most likely has cancer. Nothing has ever showed up on any test, so I questioned that. The veterinarian said that there are many cancers that will not show up. I was thinking that she was going to continue losing weight at...

    How do you know when 'it's time?'

    I do appreciate your input. We have NEVER tried Bella on any one treatment for just a few days. We are talking about years, and everything available to a veterinarian's disposal, advice, and discretion. She has not been responding to any treatment for the past month. She is fur, and bones...

    How do you know when 'it's time?'

    For the previous posters I am sorry you have gone through this, and your loss. Everything mentioned has been tried on Bella, nothing has helped, unfortunately. I am going to go talk with a different veterinarian who has seen my Bella. My Dr says as long as she is eating she is fine, but we...

    How do you know when 'it's time?'

    I am sorry to hear from someone else going through this. She is 18, and was 13 when diagnosis was made. Yes, I have been though every treatment regimen available in felines. Even herbs. This is not an easy decision, but I thought the doctor helps to make the decision? I know her answer is not...

    How do you know when 'it's time?'

    My Bella is 18, and she has not been well. She has been putting up a good fight with IBD. Her steroids are not working as she is losing weight. I took her to the doctor last week,and the doctor said as long as she is eating then it is not time. So, her doctor said to increase Bella's medicine. I...

    What is a good brand of food to get for an elderly IBD kitty?

    Thank you. I am going to call her Vet today, and run the food by them. I am also considering the raw diet. Certainly, everyone knows that actually is a cat's natural instinct to eat prey. I feel comfortable trying this out with Bella. They package their food with the highest quality, and...

    What is a good brand of food to get for an elderly IBD kitty?

    Hello all! I am having a difficult time finding a good quality food to get my Bella to eat. I am having a few dilemmas. 1. She will not eat anything that is not chunky. It can not be paste, or a CV pâté. 2. She will not eat anything from the ocean. 3. It can not contain any chicken; this is her...
