Booty has passed on. The vet said that he was very obviously sick and the chances of it being treatable long term were very slim. Hes not in pain anymore and I'm glad that I could do that for him.
Thank you everyone here who helped me. Your support kept me going.
I'm sad for my other cats. Booty would always play along with Layla, who gets into fights with Lulu. Lulu and Booty love each other so much. They've been together since they were kittens, basically. I don't think Lulu understands whats happening.
Booty used to stand outside my room and meow for...
Thank you.
I worry because his abdomen looks very swollen, I guess. They stick out farther than they used to, and he's lost a lot of weight on top of that, so it looks even more drastic.
Thank you all. I think I'm making the right decision with him.
I just read about FIP. It sounds so much like that. He was even sneezing a few months ago, before the UTIs and stuff. Now I'm terrified that my other cats will have it, too.
I know, guys. I think I may be letting my emotions get in the way, but looking at him right now I don't know if I could say he really looks like a cat who is going to die today. His eyes are still watery and the third eyelids are shown, but he's sitting up more and looks around(though I'm not...
I'm trying not to keep the idea that he's better now, and that it's all uphill from here. I hope to ask the vet who I scheduled my appointment with their opinion.
I just dont think I could do it now after this. He really did lap up a lot, which is a huge difference from getting up and turning...
He just licked at some tuna. I don't think he actually ate any of it, but he didn't walk away and he lapped up all the juice.
I don't know what to do now...
I keep thinking that maybe if I had gotten him the nausea medicine, or the appetite stimulant, maybe he would eat, and then maybe he would get better. Or maybe if he finished the antibiotics for the full 3 weeks he'd get better.
But then I remember that he's been on the antibiotics for a week...
I know.
I called around to see how much it would be. It's another 120 for the procedure and then more if I want the ashes. Our humane society will do it for cheaper but I wouldn't be able to be with him. I don't know if I could do it anyways. I might just stress him out more.
Thank you for...
Thank you.
Everytime I think it's the end, he sits up and moves. I know its not better and that it'll go back down again soon, but its so much harder to think this way when he's sitting up and looking around. When I first spoke up this morning, he had peed on the carpet and was laying on his...
It's more than half of those and for the suggestions ive tried most of them. He can walk a little and doesn't fall over, but he walks weird and slow and needs to stop for breaks after just a few steps.
He looks so bad right now. He pees wherever he is and just lays down on his side and stares. I think he's in pain and I can't have him suffer. I don't want him to live a life of needles and tests and force feeding. I can't do that go my baby. My family is all staying home today and I don't know...
I feel like they should have given it to me if they had it or thought it would work. I've been telling them he wont eat, and that he eats a little, and then looks away.
