Hi All,
Any suggestions as to what I can do to make my poor cat comfortable before he expires. I doubt he'll make it to this evening. Pretty sure he has kidney failure. There is an awful necrotic smell from his mouth. Cancer? Started a day or two ago and he would often change resting locations. Now he is in one spot. I think there is blood in his urine....this morning there was dark colored wet spots on the rug. He cries when he moves but seems to manage to get into a positions where he is at rest. Vet not an option and not sure if the trauma of a car ride is good. What can a vet do anyway but put him down, and present an exorbitant bill. We take care of a few stray cats in the city and can't afford it, simply. Not too many sincere vets around here anyway. At the top of this screen is "Ask a Vet Online Now"...shame on them!!! Right off the bat they wanted my credit card. This forum shouldn't foster such ads!
He was born in this house and will pass away in this house, we just want to make it as best for him as possible. I sit with him and pet & talk to him. I attached a photo taken last evening.
