It's been about a year and a half since my beloved cat was diagnosed with liver disease. He's been through surgery, every imaginable test, 3 specialists, a holistic vet, and about 10 different medications. For awhile, I thought we had this thing licked. He gained weight and was very happy and healthy.
Unfortunately, he has declined again. Today I received the devastating news that he is unlikely to live much longer and it's best not to try any more medical interventions. I'll spare you the depressing details, but suffice it to say this kitty has used up all of his 9 lives.
The only thing to do now is watch him and try to determine when it's time to have him put to sleep. Right now, it's not so bad and he has a decent quality of life. My vet thinks he will decline rather quickly and we may be looking a week or two, but you know how these things are.
Everyone here has been so wonderful during this experience. I know many of you have gone through this with your pets and understand.
Bless you all.
