My lovely cat is nearly 19 and has kidney disease. Her levels were just over 300 in Jan. I took her in about a month later for chronic sickness and vet said he would think her level would have risen and that it was time to pts, and she had also lost a lot more weight. I needed time to talk to dd so he gave her fluid and anti sickness but warned the sickness would return within a week.
However that was about 6 weeks ago and she’s only been sick twice. Once was yesterday, while trying to poo. She tried for ages and can’t. Still hasn’t. I came downstairs this morning and there are blood droplets everywhere. They lead to wee in the litter (no blood in wee) so I think maybe while straining to poo?
She’s become extremely confused the past fortnight. I have to keep her in the living room with food etc in here as she gets lost and does bizarre things, has habit of wedging herself down side of bin then getting stuck and weeing where she stands.
But she eats. She comes for cuddles. She’s glued to me the last week.
I think it’s time. But then I see her eating ravenously and wonder.
I’m going to wfh today and speak to vet.
I wonder whether I should just do it today. Dd knows and thinks cat is not happy. But I dread telling her when she wakes up that I should do it today , she’s 11. We’ve talked about it for weeks though so maybe best to stop dragging it out for her .
