I am in shock. Took my 11 year old cat to the vet yesterday as he was not himself and had stopped eating since sunday.
Various back and forth with the vet, he is extremely anaemic, to the point of possibly needing a blood transfusion. An xray showed a mass in his abdomen, and fluid, possibly another mass on his lungs. Can't do a better xray until he has a transfusion as too dangerous to sedate him, and can't operate for the same reason. He would need to be transferred to a specialist anyway to do anything further. Prognosis not great, but I was once given a 1% chance with my horse and he lived for another two years.
Its a lot for him to go through, potentially very traumatic. Do I put him through it? Or do I PTS?
Had to put our other cat to sleep a few months ago. She was older though and very sick and was never a good patient.
Its going to be expensive as he is not insured, but I don't care about cost (well I do, but I care about him more), but if the vet thinks that regardless of what we do it might still have the same end result, ie: death, do I just not try?
He is my baby. My heart is broken. He was fine on saturday, had no idea he was so sick.
