My old lady Tab is nearly 20 and is the loveliest cat. She's only got 3 legs and half an ear after getting stuck in my car engine when she was a kitten - horrific as you can imagine. She's coped really well and is my best friend, which sounds mad I know.
She's got thyroid problems and Ckf, although she's still eating and her weight has maintained. She has an insatiable appetite and meows constantly - but an attention meow iykwim. She just looks at me and meows.
I took her to the vets 10 days ago as she has an ingrowing claw which caused lameness and infection. Antibiotics given and twice daily salt baths.
She's pooing and weeing in the house and is not very mobile. I don't want her to suffer but don't want to rush into putting her to sleep either, not until I have to. However, I want do the right thing by her. When will I know when the time is right?
Her paw has improved slightly but still smells a bit so the infection must still be present.. The vet wanted to see her again on the 29th Jan.
Sorry for the long post - but I thought I'd know when the time has come. I'm so conflicted.
