Hi There,
I had a approx 19-20year old DSH white cat , she was on thyroid (neomerc) meds one tablet in morning and one at night, she had skin cancer on right ear tip which had been progressing a lot over last few months where the scabs were coming off and bleeding and i was maintaining this. she was eating and drinking normally. my vet recently put her on amoxy clav half tablet in morning and half tab at night, she also put her on metacam 2kg worth of liquid once a day.
recently she started eating a lot and drinking a lot, meowing loudly for food requently, meowing in the house when i was still home, at time she would turn in circles always towards the right! my vet said this could possibly be her going senile or a brain issue.
last thursday night she didnt eat her dinner, and seem a little off. friday morning she ate her tablets in tuna and ate some breakfast of tuna and dry and drank some water. i went to work and left her asleep on couch.
when i came home from work i found her on the floor in a slightly twisted awkward way lying her head down also (there was urine on the couch ). i quickly scooped her up and took her to vet, vet suggested a possible blood clot in lower body as she wasnt standing up or wanting to stand, she held her head up at times. seemed sleepy, had cold paws. vet put her on oxygen and fluids for 1 hour and not much changed, suggesest euth.
i then took her home for a few hours before deciding to get a sec oppionion at an emergency centre, she noticed she had pain in her lower back and pinched inbetween her toes my cat tried to meow or hiss but no sound came out. she lay on table. sometimes opening mouth and sticking tongue out a little bit. she also had continued to urinate where lying) the vet could see i needed answers as this was very sudden. she took an xray and found nothing but poo build up (my cat had not had a poo in her tray since wed night) vet suggested that she has a low qaulity of life and that she seemed very unhappy. at this point i decided i did not want her to be like this and chose to euthanise
after going home and having a few days to my self i started feeling guilty and that i did not do all the i could have done to find out what the real problem was..... should i have taken bloods? why didnt the vet suggest that? was it too soon, was it temporary?
im forever wondering what happened, and why was it so sudden, did i make too of sudden choice. i would like to know other or vets thoughts. thank you.
