My little Lucy, a15 year old kittie has recently been diagnosed with early stages of kidney disease. I have given her canned food made for cats with her disease, but she instead wants to eat the food of her 2 other siblings. I decided that she should eat what she wants to eat and enjoy what is left of her life. I am now feeding all my cats food made for seniors.
At this time she has an extended bladder or stomach. It seems like a balloon and could pop any time. She also has erratic breathing. It is unusually hard. She takes a quick hard breath in and then a quick release of air. I will probably take her to see the Vet tomorrow, but I am reluctant to spend a lot on treatment because I know that the inevitable will come. The Vet predicted maybe 2 more years. I guess i'm struggling with having her euthanized at this stage of her disease. I do not believe that she is comfortable. She has been more loving, but then goes to a place in the house to lie down in isolation. Does anyone have any advice for me and my little sweetheart, Lucy?
