My wonderful kitty has given be 18 1/2 log years many as a diabetic cat. Last year she started having visible swallowing where it looked like she was trying to swallow hard, the vet told me it was over her bad teeth. Last week she stopped eating well and Saturday went into diabetic shock. She is stable now but still not eating the vet noticed a large lump on her face and neck and told me this was the cause and it could be salivary gland infection or cancer blood tests were negative for infection.. She has already been hospitalized 2 days and I was going to take her to the specialist today but something made me stop and just decide to enjoy the day with her and say goodbye later today. I know from prior experience what the specialist is going to say and I want to do what is right. She's not eating still and she not having a good time. Am I doing the right thing? I just have gone down this road of putting my cat through the long car ride to the specialist and stressing them more only to be told it's a tumor. I need advice.
