Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear the news. :rub: I know you'll keep Muffin comfortable and happy, but that doesn't make your heart hurt any less.

This is so sweet. It makes me want to cry. Thank you for the tip about the seam ripper. I will try that.I am glad to hear he is holding on but sorry that the past few days have been harder :-(. It is good that you are still able to get him to eat! With his mattings, a friend of mine gave me a tip for my longer haired kitties that a seam ripper (from sewing) works very well! It is a good sign too that he has been grooming himself at least until recently. He may still have some quality time to run after birdies and squirrels and lay in the sun. Sweetest kitty!
I will pray for Muffin and you and your family.
AW Barb, I know how you feel and what you are going through day in and day out. I used to spend hours a day trying to get food into Wilbur :heart3: (dog). I had to sit on the floor with him in my lap and gently put food into his mouth. I never force fed him though, he would always swallow it and rarely spit it out. He just would not eat on his own. The last two years with Wilbur were filled with the ups and downs and the pain on my heart wondering when the time was to come. It was extremely difficult. I can vouch for those B-12 shots. They did help with Wilbur. Even his holistic vet recommended he stay on a B-12 vitamin supplement all the time. It was a liquid and I had to mix it with something very soft and give it to him by syringe.:heart2:
It might be worth giving the vet a call to ask about B-12 shots.
