Dusty is aging not so gracefully **UPDATE**

I'm sorry to hear about Dusty. I hope that you can find something that will make her more comfortable.

Oh poor sweet Dusty. It's so hard to tell if they're in pain isn't it. I'm afraid I don't have any advice, but you should let her be where she wants to be, even if you have to carry her upstairs. Glad to hear she's eating and wants to play, if only for a short time. I think the heated cat bed is a very good idea, that might help ease the pain. You're such a good kitty mom, and I do hope you'll find a medicine that helps her.

Lots of kisses to Dusty, and hugs to you.

If Theres A Cost In Being A Pet Guardian Is Not The Food Or Vet Bills , Its The Knowledge That We Will Outlive Our Furry Little Friends.
And We Will Have To Live With The Agony Of Watching Our Once Vibrant Companions Get Old And Frail.and The Agony Of Having To Decide On The Time When Its Time For Them To Be Angels.
We Are Praying As Hard As We Can For Our Friend Dusty , That Shes Not In Pain And Still Has Year S Ahead Of Her To Be Your Dear Little Pal.

Prayers for dear Dusty. Growing old is no fun...but Dusty is lucky to have you looking out for her well being...

I'm so sorry to hear of Dusty's pain. My vet did give my dear Tucker Metacam to bring home, but I guess that is because she knew he was terminal anyway. (FIP) I just brought him home to spend the last bit of time I could with him.

I hope you can find ways to make your Dusty comfortable. The heated bed sounds like a good idea!

Hugs,
Kim

Give Dusty some extra love from us.

Know when the right time for the last time is so hard. I wish they would tell us when they hurt. I just went through saying goodbye to my boy cat Lamoni. Fifi went to the RB just over a year ago. I still miss them both an likely always will. I know what you are going through right now. You hurt just as bad as she does, but on the inside.

There are some signs that you can use to guage when the time has come. Right now be with her every miunute that she will let you.
