Hi there,
Im new here and i need some advice. We have a family cat who has had a big life, lost count of the amount of kittens she had, we got her neutered a few years ago too. But the last few months her health has really deteriorated, she no longer is able to clean herself, and will not leave her kitty house, only on some occasions will walk on the grass. But she does get up for food no problem and stretch her legs.
She has what i can only describe as fur balls on her back, like clusters of hair in lumps, can anyone advise me if i can remove them myself, my cut away at them? because she can not clean herself anymore to get rid of them herself. Or is this a case of just prepare to accept she is on her last legs and maybe take her to a vet to be put down. You can imagine yourself it would be a hard decision, but this is our first family cat and she is 17 years old, so we are not sure what to do
Thanks for any advise
