My precious Koko

[Barbicat1]

i am waiting for call from vet's office to see if my 17 1/2 yr old Siamese is ever coming home again. Dehydrated, diarrhea, so weak he couldn;t even stand up today. He has seen me through the deaths of my husband, dad and mom, I have had him since 6 wks of age. I am devastated.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. Koko actually made it through the night and is rallying. However, he had such low blood sugar that they feel he has a systemic problem, and will probably want to do an ultrasound. I don't know if I want to do that, since I would NOT give him chemo (if it's cancer) only to prolong his life for MY sake. So if I don't do that, should I even bother with an ultrasound?

Yes, he was ADORABLE at 6 wks old; his ears were enormous and too big for his head! Luckily, all of him grew up and the ears fit perfectly a few months later!

I guess regarding the ultrasound the old standby question to ask the vet: "What would you do if it was your cat?"

The ultrasound may show something treatable. If it's cancer, then keep him comfy and on some pred for swelling and love him.

He sure is a fighter! Hugs and prayers going out.:love::love::love:

Thank you very much for the advice. I know for one thing that I will NOT give him chemo; that would be a selfish move on my part just to keep him with me a bit longer. I was thinking the same thing about asking the vet what THEY would do; thanks for reinforcing that idea for me. Appreciate it very much. And yes, he IS a fighter; he doesn't want to leave any more than I want him to!

God bless Koko and you both.

If it is cancer - and I hope not - I can tell you what I did for C.B. He was 18 and had a tumor on his nose between his eyes. I chose to have him get radiation. I knew well that it wouldn't cure him, but it did eventually make him more comfortable and possibly extend his life. Yes, it was expensive and I had to travel a bit for it, but I had to do what seemed right for him. He was blind which they said could have come from the radiation treatments, but I think the tumor and age started his blindness. When his brother passed at the age of 19 without cancer, he was blind then, too. My heart goes out to you. I'm believe you'll do for Koko whatever feels right for him and for you.
