Hello,
Please can someone offer some help or advice? I am feeling very confused and worried.
My lovely soppy black cat, Bear, is at the vets after this morning having strange episodes of being wobbly and acting very strangely. Last week he was diagnosed with FIV after having a temperature and losing some weight. He is on antibiotics and has some other medication to bring his temperature down and was acting back to his normal happy self last night. He is only 2 years old.
This morning he came to me early, put his paw on my arm and then went strange. He later seemed to return to normal and ate breakfast. He is at the vets again being assessed. We have been back and forth to the vets a few times now for him to be ok but then get worse again and he seems even more unwell today. I asked the vet her advice on his chances of getting better and she said she cannot say as there is no diagnosis, although she mentioned possible FIP. I have been very clear that I don’t want to give up on him but also don’t want to pursue something that will make him feel worse for it to be unnecessary. I feel so bad that he is there when he is feeling so unwell.
The vet said she can’t advise but then said would I want to put him to sleep today or Saturday! I feel he is ill but that my vet is not being very helpful in advising what is best
I don’t want to make the wrong decision. I live alone and my friends have lots of big things going on in their lives like cancer and kids and lockdown so a cat seems silly in comparison. Just wondered if someone can offer help or advice or a hand hold
Thank you x
