Hello,
I've been left looking after my parents cat whilst they are on holiday.
They took her to the vet before leaving as Miss Daisy had lost weight and was subdued. She is 14 years old and the vet diagnosed cancer (they could feel tumours in the stomach area.)
The vet said she could go on for months and said to bring her back to be put to sleep if she appears to be in pain or deteriorates.
Well my parents have been away for a week and return this Sunday coming. I'm doing my best to get her to the weekend as I don't want to have her put to sleep if I can avoid it.
The problem is she isn't eating, although is drinking small amounts of water. I've been tempting her with gourmet cat food (mon petit brand) and Sheba, which she was wolfing down up until a couple of days ago.
I can't bear to see her wobbling around weak, and I feel selfish and cruel making her hold on!
So any advice for what you'd do in the circumstances?
I was planning on trying some fresh white fish/salmon/tuna or anything else to get some food into her. As once she eats she does perk up.
I feel dreadful and don't know what to do. Also would cream or cat milk help?
Sorry any advice would be hugely appreciated.
My db and dsil are away with them and I'm looking after their cat too, who is 18 and so strong in comparison.
Miss Daisy was the runt of the litter and has always been tiny and weak looking, so this contributes to her appearance.
