Hi everyone,
I’m kinda struggling at the moment so hoping people might understand or tell me if I’ve been an a-hole
Back story is my cat, I rescued from a kitten mill at 6 weeks old, I couldn’t leave her there she was 6 weeks and mum was already 3 weeks pregnant, stank of urine and faeces. I know I did the right thing in taking her that’s not the issue. Over the last five years she has had multiple health issues initially diagnosed as asthma, five years later I’ve been told she has a tracheal stricture, there is nothing we can do to fix it. Specialists want to put her through a fluoroscope trachescopy and another bronchial lavage. I have said no. For the last five years she has been scoped scanned drugged anaesthetized, bloods the whole whack. It’s cruel to keep going. The decision has been made to put her palliative with an end of life plan in place.
I feel so guilty to have put her through all of this just for it to end like this. I have given her the best life I possible can but I feel so guilty that I have been unable to give her a long lifespan and help her recover and we are at this stage and I need to know…. Have I given up too soon? have i made the wrong decision. I am doubting myself and please tell me if this is the wrong place to post this.
Apologies if there is bits missing I’ve had quite a bit to drink tonight 🥹
