Hi prayer warriors,
Sadly my cat has developed brain cancer and has started also developing seizures.
She is about 14 - so she is an older cat and this is not uncommon.
This week I have been grief stricken ,understandably however my wonderful vet has started her on treatment to minimize and treat the seizures.He says that without an MRI that's all he can do.( MRI's cost $3000 AUD - thank you very much.)
I wanted to respect her life and choose hope but seeing her all lethargic and twitching as well as licking herself constantly ( a side effect of the meds) is awful.
My prayer request is to have wisdom to know when and if to give up on this treatment and just put her to sleep.My cat will never be the same again and it is as if a chapter has closed on what was a healthy ,happy life and now she is suffering. Am I keeping her alive for her or for me?And will she be able to regain a quality of life?
These are hard questions I have to ask myself.
Pet owners would understand.
Thank you to all who have any word of encouragement, advice or prayer.
