My cat has cancer

[Ranger X]

How will the vet put down your cat? Injection? I hope your cat goes quietly and painlessly.

Just made the appt, 1030 tomorrow. He hates shots though so I'll see if they can gas him.

I'm in tears. I'd wait if he's still eating, using the litter box and accepting belly rubs. He's your cat and it's your decision but I just wouldn't put one of mine (I have 4) down if he/she were in the same physical condition. Please consider EVERYTHING before "gassing him".

Talked to the vet and she says the reason he's having problems walking is because the tumor is painful (which would explain why he doesn't like me picking him up). I don't want to see him get any worse.

As if the two are even remotely comparable...:roll:

Wow you're such a moron. Go FOAD.

Well, dickhead they aren't...deal with it.

I'll be honest, my eyes teared up. I HATE hearing about these things because animals have no idea what's happening and what death is. Sometimes I wish I didn't know because it's so hard to say goodbye to pets.

My condolences bro, just remember the good times and cherish 'em.


:heart:

I know how hard that is. I couldn't be in the same room when they put down our Patton. He was such a sweet cat. I cried on the way to the vet but I couldn't be in the room when they did it. My wife and I said our goodbyes and that was it. Poor guy had his liver fail. The vet wanted to put a catheter in him and have us feed him through a tube for months and only gave him a 10% chance of surviving...if you could call it that. Sucks but sometimes it's the best thing for them.

We just had to let one of ours go a few weeks ago, and I am still not over it.

Will you have him cremated?

I haven't talked to the vet about that part yet, she's calling me back tomorrow with results from the leukemia test. Need to make sure it's not something that my other cat can get.

why would your other cat get it? it's not infectious, unless the leukemia is caused by a virus, which is rare in humans but i don't know about cats.

Feline leukemia virus (FeLV). Transmittable between cats that share food bowls, water, and litter boxes. Fortunately the test came back negative so my other cat isn't at risk.

im so sorry for your loss

My old Cocker Spaniel died in Nov 2003 from cancer. Last time I got to see him was April 2003. Sorry about your kitties.

 

[Koing]

It is sad.

[packmule]

Bummer deal.

 

[virtuamike]

Today I said goodbye and thank you. RIP Puffy.

And to ATOT, thank you for the support. It's helped both of us.

I know exactly what you went through. I had to put my dog down of cancer last month. It definately wasn't pleasant, but I know he will be in a lot less pain than he was. Sorry about your cat, I know it's tough.

give him to the person with the perranas

In my mind they are. F off.

Well, I own pets and I've had to put a cat down. I also have a son of my own, so I feel that I am qualified to make this comparison and I can tell you that a pet doesn't come close to the value I place on my son.

Deal with it.

Son or not, you are still a stupid tard. Stop posting. All you do is crap in peoples threads for no reason, let the person mourn and leave your stupid BS out of it.

No you don't and you still need to shutup and go away.

My condolences.

Odd that these animal threads get more responses then the threads where people die. A little disturbing...

My condolences to you. Pets become just like family over time.

I have many cats too, It's going to be hard - but it will also be a great opportunity to save a little kitty from the pound. (AKA - Get another cat)

Sorry to hear it..

You can borrow (virtually, of course) some of my Cats!!

Stanley is my baby.
