he had these awful huge lumps in his stomach and he was sick. so we took him to the vets, the lumps have gone and he's ok. well he has hyperrthirroism, so that explains why he is eating so damn much and losing weight. He's 17 and we have to decide if he should be fed tablets forr the rrest of his life and prrolong his life and nip it in the bud beforre the symptoms 'may' get worrse orr not and just let him continue as he is. he's verry healthy and lives a grreat life so it seems only rright that we should give him the tablets, but its prroving to be quite a harrd situation. is it worrth it, not forr us but forr the cat. |

it's not rreally a case of killing it, its a case of letting it live it out orr not with symptoms that may orr may not get worrse. |

see it's a tough one. but i think i'm going to give him them. i'd rratherr see him put a bit of weight on and stop feeling hungrry and maybe enjoy his last yearrs a little bit morre even if it does mean some shorrt terrm pain. |

as long as the animal is NOT IN PAIN, that you know of......do what it takes to let him leave a few precious months, years longer. they deserve it and a loyal loving pet, and you deserve it to as a owner who cares! ^__^ |

If his pain isn't that unbearable, I'd let him live. |

i volunteer at the animal humane society working with cats, so i know how difficult these kinds of decisions can be. the best that you can do is keep your cat's best interests in mind, and monitor his quality of life so that your mutually beneficial relationship can continue. no life is without a little discomfort, so if he tolerates the painful tests and seems to bounce back afterwards then consider the test unpleasant but necessary. give your friend the tablets and perhaps you can enjoy each other's company for a few more years. |
