Hey guys, I posted about a week ago about my cat going to the Er with fluid in his abdomen.
the ER vet told me she was very confident he had a cancerous mass that was in her words oozing and causing the fluid build up and to take him home for palliative care. I was given gabipentin. He seemed decent until I took him 4 days later to a normal vet for a second opinion and a timeline of when he would pass and they said they felt a abdominal mass. They gave me predlisone to try but I was basically told there was nothing else they could do.
I gave the the predlisone which he HATED for a day and a half. He’s basically shut down. So I stopped giving it to him. It’s been about 2 1/2 days since his last dose it’s almost like he’s zombie. He’s stopped eating and hasn’t used the litter box. I saw him take a few drinks of water but he’s basically just been under the bed.
my question is do you think the prednisone triggered this or is the cancer just taking over? I scheduled to put him to sleep tomorrow but I worry I may regret in case It was the meds. I took him from under the bed this morning he just stared at me with a empty expression for 10 minutes then went back under.
