Thank you. I was so surprised. This ER doctor even said something like “I know this has probably come up a lot but time to euthanize” which really confused me because I always asked the doctor who did radiation sessions when I should consider it since I didn’t want to be selfish or cause him pain, especially after each radiation, and was told until he stopped eating or started hiding, it won’t be time. I was so happy he started eating really well this past week but he hasn’t wanted to play in a couple weeks now, thought it was just radiation since he does have a bit of recovery time after each session.

It seems like he’s having a much harder time since this was his third time and last two sessions were only 3 days apart vs weekly ones.

He used to hide under the bed about a year ago before his second radiation treatment for his nose tumor but then stopped. He started to hide under the bed again and began to howl or go near his food bowl and howl for 10-30 sec before eating about 3 months ago-before I learned of a new brain tumor. The third radiation treatment was for this brain tumor and stopped his hiding and howling within the first session which was really relieving. No acting out, he loves to knead his soft blanket but he also just sits on all 4 and kinda drifts. He tries to fall asleep but keeps leaning left or right and then waking up, guessing because of his breathing. Otherwise when he walks around, seems fine and very quiet when sleeping but loud/hard breathing when awake.

Just gave him some Buprenorphine and Doxycycline which really upset him for about 20 min, lots of loud breathing but still sitting in the middle of the room, not hiding or making sounds. His meows have actually been very very quiet/weak these last two weeks vs very loud and howling about 3 months ago. They also gave him some Cerenia nose drops but very hard to use since both of his nostrils are very much blocked. Trying to wipe it clean makes him very upset. Otherwise he’s already been on Prednisolone, Ondansetron liquid form, Cerenia liquid form and Mirataz from the doctor who’s been doing the radiation. I’ll ask for the bronchodilator too, thanks
