This morning I had to rush my cat to the vet. Of course, he was fine. But he isn't fine now. The vet ripped his claw out and he is throwing up good out of his mouth. I cannot get him into the carrier again. He is already growling at me. The sedation they gave him seems to be wearing off slowly.
I made a potentially desperate call to the normal vet. I asked to make an appointment for euthanasia. I only hope they will answer my prayers and let me do it. They made an appointment for the 17th at 11. The vet is going to call me about it.
I had to call out of work sick today.
I am not making this decision rashly. I do not want to do this.
My cat is 14 years old. He has lived a good life.
- He cannot be examined by a vet without serious sedation.
- We have tried sedation pills at home they do not work.
- I have tried at home vet... they were unable to examine him.
- Every time I take him to the vet they rip out a nail. Oh they try to blame me / him for it but they are simply incapable of getting him sedated without a knock down fight where he hurts himself.
- In fear, he has bitten me before.
- Probably has damaged vets.
- He hurts himself every time.
- There is great likelihood that he will get sick in the future. There is no way that I could get him medical help. If they allow me to do this I will need to space two weeks out to get him to calm down.
- I am pretty sure his teeth will need help soon... that is just something that is impossible to get fixed.
My cat is mentally ill but as of yet, not physically. The only shot I have at getting him in the carrier and to the vet for it is when he is healthy. As when he isn't.. he lashes out at me.
I hope they say yes and don't give me trouble. It sounds like they will.
