think its time to say goodbye :(

[typoqueen]

my beautiful old boy of 23 has been diagnosed with FIP (wet type) he has a belly like a football, but he still eating/drinking and wanting a fuss, a little wobbly on his old legs and manages to give his famous silent meow's, the vet says he is not in pain, but im not sure I can cope with seeing him like this, slowly getting worse. Its breaking my heart :(

What a grand age to reach.

My own view is that I'd let him go while the sun was still shining for him and before he was in bad trouble. I left it a bit too late with Darling Twoago and I've always regretted that I didn't act sooner.

How wonderful that he has reached 23!

I agree with cozie - if the decision is inevitable, don't leave it too long (I left it a day or so too long with my 18 yr old girl cat and I still well up when I think about seeing her so unwell)

Sorry that you are going through a difficult time

we called the vet out last night to do the inevitable, my beautiful old boy, passed away curled up on my lap :(

So sorry typoqueen. It was a loving action to take though and the right thing to do in the circumstances.

Take care.

Very sorry to hear that, typoqueen, but it sounds like you made absolutely the right decision and everything was done with love & compassion
