My 4 year old cat, Buddy, was just diagnosed as having enlarged heart (the vet said it looked like a balloon). They started him on medication and they said he was in a good mood (purring). However they also said the medication would only prolong his life a few months, maybe a year. Should I put him down while he is in a good mood or keep my baby a few extra months?
Selfishly, I want to keep him and sees how he does on the medication, but I don're know what to do? -------------------- Leo the Lion June 17,2008 to February 5, 2012 Buddy July 21, 2006 to June 7, 2013 |

Sadly, today I had to put Buddy down. Early this morning he took a turn for the worst, he was breathing really hard with his mouth open. He did not want any treats or can food or even human can tuna!
I had him for 124 days after he was initially diagnosed and I'm glad I had every second with him. I was originally told I might have three weeks max with him and I got four months instead. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and support. -------------------- Leo the Lion June 17,2008 to February 5, 2012 Buddy July 21, 2006 to June 7, 2013 |
