Reply #35: Take her to the vet [View All]

[pop goes the weasel]

Ask them to keep an eye on her while you are in class, and let you know what they think the prognosis is. Maybe she still has several good months in her, or maybe she's down to just a few hours. The vets have the experience to tell. When I took my cat in the last time, I knew that there was no other choice, that he was dying, and painfully, from an inoperable tumor. I wasn't doing him any favors by having him live a few more hours of vomiting blood. I cried all the way to the vet, and was depressed for months afterward, but it was the kindest thing I could do right then. I gave the vet permission to do an autopsy, so I have hope that what she learned has perhaps saved other cats.
