So very awful to witness the demise of our beloveds

..rather than leave her suffering if you don't have the gargantuan amounts of money vets charge these days to have her adequately diagnosed and treated -- it's best to let her go so she does not continue to suffer.

There's no shame in it. It's a final act of love. Please don't let her suffer anymore. The urinary issues have probably spread to her kidneys. This would cause irreversible damage. But I'm not a vet, so that's just a guess. She's clearly suffering.

Never let one of my pets suffer again because I couldn’t let go.

Just my opinion, but maybe it’s time.

Sorry for your pain.

…but I’ve rescued in the neighborhood of 100 basset hounds over the years. I’ve typically kept the old and sick and work on a shoestring veterinary budget.

It almost sounds like kitty has some sort of growth impairing her elimination. In my mind, that means cancer. And only a more advanced cancer usually shows up in bloodwork. Don’t beat yourself up about not spending money you don’t have on vet care. You’ve kept a roof over your heads, food in your home, and given kitty a wonderful life.

I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this. We NEVER have them long enough. Even as painful as her decline is and her loss will be, it’s just a gift that you’ve been able to share this amazing love with each other.

It’s hard to see it today, or even tomorrow, but there will come a time when you’ll smile when you think of her.

I promise I speak from experience. I lost my 6.5 year old St Bernard about six weeks ago. His bloodwork was also perfect 2 months earlier when he had a cracked tooth removed. I lost him very unexpectedly to Hemangiosarcoma.

Holding you and Trixie in my heart.

I'm so sorry you are going through this.

throwing up all the meds she started putting weight back on. She looks and acts great, thanks!
