Re: have to rant

[elialshadowpine]

I'm so sorry. We lost a kitty last year, to unknown causes, but by the time we lost him, the vet was shocked because he was effectively having organs dissolve. We had him euthanised because at that point, you can't do anything.

For kitties, cancer treatment is very iffy. I haven't had to deal with it personally but I've friends who went through treatment and the kitty was miserable, in terrible condition, had no real quality of life, and in the end, didn't make it. This has been multiple experiences, btw.

As much as it hurts (and believe me, I know how much it does, even when it is the only real, humane option), I would give serious thought to euthanasia. Consider how horrid cancer treatment is for humans, and that cats can't understand what's going on. All they'll know is that they're sick from the treatment, sick from the illness, and in the end, it's a traumatizing experience even should they make it.

It's a hard decision and I support you whatever decision you make. But I thought you should be aware of the reality of treatment and its effects.

But, if there have been many misdiagnoses, I also second the person who suggests getting a second experiences. Knowing the diagnosis is cancer, another vet should be able to double check whether this is actually the correct diagnosis without thousands of dollars. With the effects of cancer treatment, and the hard decisions you face, I would want a second opinion myself.
