Hi, so this is awful as many of you know. Ive struggled to part ways but my cats condition keeps getting worse and vet just sent me home with pain meds and at-home euthanasia services. I know either today or tomorrow he is going to need to be put to sleep as he struggles to walk and keeps falling down. This past year has just been awful. He had 1 leg removed because of osteosarcoma on his front right paw. It broke my heart. He was getting along fine but then a month ago I started feeling lumps on his neck and they keep growing and now his leg is swollen and he hasnt gone #2 in days even tho I put miralax on his food. This all just happened SO fast. I kept trying to hold onto hope but he is just getting worse no matter what I try. He needs to be put out of his misery. I watched my father die from cancer and this is just devastating and traumatic for me.

I know for cats they say at home euthanasia is better than taking the cat to the vet, but I am worried of the memory it will leave for me to come back to my apartment and seeing it happen. I have ocd and anxiety and im on meds for it, but I still tend to ruminate on things.

The normal vet I have is literally a 3 minute drive. I just dont know if I can even watch them put him down. I want to be there for him, but watching my boy finally take his last breath may be too much for me. I dont want to sound selfish but I tend to get visuals stuck in my mind. Has anyone else felt like I have?

Hi all. My cat, Wyatt, just turned 13 and has been a tripod cat for 1 year almost. He was all clear for metastisized cancer after getting scans done when he got his leg amputated due to Osteosarcoma of his paw. A few months ago I noticed what kind of felt like a scab or scar tissue and figured it may be from his surgery because it was on the opposite side of where they removed his leg around the top of his leg and collar bone area.

A few weeks ago I noticed he started sneezing and then the bump I felt before was bigger, hard and moved a little. Then I just felt another smaller one. He is moving slowly with his hind paws and his hips look atrophied. He still eats and goes in the litterbox but sometimes falls to his side like hes exhausted. He had a bit of blood from one of his nostril and still sleeping. The vet didnt give me many answers except she thinks his lumps are sarcoma from the feel of it. She took bloodwork and urine sample. She said she could refer me to an oncologist....

Has anyone with a cat with osteosarcoma had something similar happen? Its just so off that the only lump was originally in his paw and now he has them along his upper body :( the vet didnt even give me advice on why he isnt walking right or check it after I told her.

I love my boy and feel distraught but also might feel this could be the end and I dont want him to suffer. Any advice from someone who has gone through similar would help.

Thank you.
