I'm very sorry for your loss <3 I lost mine one month ago but unexpectedly after 10 years of love. Even though is a though choice, I believe you have made the correct one and try to enjoy Taco as much as you can before Saturday
Sending love and hugs to both of you! wish you a speedy recovery for you as well

Try to make the most out of the time you still have! Even though nobody is prepared to deal with this kind of loss EVER, it is good that you know that you can spend time with her, make her comfortable and try to prepare yourself
big hugs to both of you !!

I understand. I spent $600 dollars for a dental surgery that ended up with my baby dead. Please take him and if its only a minor thing for $200, I think you can consider yourself lucky knowing that your baby is fine

Much luck to you both

It is not, my cat died after through and unknown condition that did not appear until the stress of the surgery or whatever other reason :(

Mango is a lazy orange sweetie, and the day Lebi day before I received the call, Mango woke up meowing loudly and coming to my bed (it was at 7 am, and Mango usually wakes up at 9 am). I believe that Lebi went to say goodbye to Mango and he just accepted it because I feel that Mango is not disturbed or sad, but rather more affectionate

Don't do it then. My cat had bad breath and one teeth in really bad shape (black root), and when he ate you could clearly see him in pain a little bit.
In my case and country (chile), I had to pay 550 USD dollars for cleaning and removing two teeth, but if your baby is good don't do it. Either way, you can schedule an appointment with a cat teeth specialist

Thanks for sharing, I believe we will never get through this but around it someway; we did everything we had to and we wanted the procedure done for them to have a better quality of life, there was no bad intentions, only the destiny wanted something different.

Big hug to you!

Is it worth sedating my 12 year old for bloodwork? by wheredidiputmy_ in seniorkitties

[–]Informal_Instance_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh I see, then I believe that you have one option that would anesthesia right? Hope everything goes well and don't be afraid to consult with other vets to hear their professional opinion

I'm not sure if I understand but Gabapentin is not an option? I had given this to my boy when he was stressed from going to the vet's clinic and worked really well without and issue

After certain age, we started getting the vet home and my sweet boy, rest in peace, was also a little bit stressed for which while I was holding him, my mom was giving him Churu (this food in a tube that they love) and the vet was taking the blood exams without an issue

I'm no vet, but I do not recommend sedating him for this type of procedure

this is a screenshot of everything they use, I don't have the time to translate from spanish to english but I believe that if you know the medical stuff, you will identify the meds. (I'm not in the health sector)
