It was sudden and hard to talk about, but we let my 14 year old cat Pixel go to the rainbow bridge today, still not knowing exactly what was wrong. I was supposed to bring him in today for more blood tests but we were treating him as if he had pancreat*itis with small syringe feedings and SQ fluids and pepcid. He was appearing to improve a bit last night. However, late last night/early AM I noticed ascites and slightly labored breathing, and by this morning he was too weak to stand and didn't respond to his name. He was just permanently 'blank'. We rushed him to the vet asap, but by the time we got there he was just this side of comatose, eyes open on his side and very unresponsive. We made the decision to let him go.
