Please forgive me if this is lengthy but i want to help others who may have went through what i have. My cat Maggie 16 years old was weening off of eating for a while and was not sure if she was being picky b/c she does that from time to time. She was always a ravid eater and lately started picking at breakfast and not much at all during dinner. I took her to the vet on Nov. 2nd and they did blood work and urine sample. All good there. The vet prescribed Cerenia and a salve to put in her upper ear to enhance apatite. That was not working and she was losing weight. I could start to feel her backbone which was shocking. I took her back and the vet did an ultrasound and found masses on her liver and several in her entestines. He prescribed a steroid PRed and a pain medication to give by mouth. This mad her so "stoned" that she would not even do nothing but stare mindlessly into nowhere. I called the Vet and he said our last bet would be feeding by syringe with medicated food. We did 4 small doses and last night she vomited it projectiled all over. At that time i said it was game over and i would not subjicate her to anything else. She survived last night. She had not peed or pooped in over days and i called and said she and I can' do this anymore. I had her put down today at 2pm EST. I am devastated. Perhaps i should have done this earlier instead of all the other things. So very sad folks.... so very sad right now.
