6 or so months ago my cat was diagnosed with malignant mammary cancer, I had the tumor removed, but I know it was only a matter of time until it spread. Lately she's been having a hard time breathing, and I took her in to the vet yesterday. She said that she has very little lung space left and putting her through an xray might kill her. She told me to seriously consider putting her down.
She doesn't move very far without laying back down and I can see her struggling to breathe when she does, but she rolls over on her back and looks alert when I pet her.. and I don't know what to do. She's not eating or drinking, and I have an app at 7:45AM to do the unthinkable but I can't sit here and watch her and keep thinking I'm making a mistake. She seriously will only move like 10 ft before collapsing, but she nuzzles me and purrs and looks very much like my cat otherwise. I know the cancer has spread, and that is what's causing this but... I don't know... I can't help feeling like I'm wrong to go through with it. I've never had to do this before. please help
