Still struggling with this. After 3 days my cat hadn't gone poop and appeared to be on the mend. I had a thought last night that I wouldn't put him down. After all, I just went to the vet. The cat had almost everything checked that could be checked and he was fine. I got the records on Saturday and was stunned at just how healthy he was for a 14 year old cat.
I wouldn't have to go to the vet again at all if I didn't want to again. I could go 3 or more years without a vet visit. (based on the time I stalled from the last vet visit) That would make him 17 year old if he survived. I felt so much relief at that thought, I figured my decision was made for me.
But then he spent the majority of the night crying and went poop. The good news.. The first poop was fully formed so he seems to be improving. The bad news.. He later did a messy poop so he still has an issue. But he is eating, he is drinking.
The thing that is getting to me is that it seems a lot of people have a terrible time with the cat at the vet. So it seems like putting him down for that is not HIS fault. It is the vet. My last trip to the vet was totally useless. They gave me an antibiotic but he can't take it. They seem to refuse to do anything to assist me at all on getting him to take it. (I know you can get pills compounded with flavor the cat likes -- but they say this isn't available).
It is the vet that makes me and HIM miserable. And, they really don't seem to help. It is them that made me feel that this was somehow out of the ordinary. It was them that damaged my cat sedating him.
I still have the appointment just in case but I feel like I am going back the other way. I feel like I have to just stop taking the cat to the vet. That is the source of all my problems.
