See, this is where my torment began. As a human, I wouldn't want to be confined to one room but I wondered whether or not a cat would mind. Puddy isolated herself and I still agonized over it.Originally Posted by slick
Slowly but surely he's getting banned from different rooms. Now he seems to think that the floor beside the toilet in the guest bathroom is his litterbox so now that bathroom door stays closed at all times - it's too small to put a litterbox in there. Yes, I could use pee pads, but I want him to start using the "real" litterbox again. I hope it doesn't come down to point where Max has to be confined to one room only. That's no life for him.
Dr. Singh really feels that there is nothing we can do at this point and I have to say I agree. His potassium level is too high so giving him that supplement is not an option. I asked him about the Azodyl and he said that it's not an option either because it can cause major kidney damage. Dr. Singh confirmed that the cause of his weakness is from the IVDD and once it sets in, there is no treatment that can help. Oh yes, about the Vitamin B shots, Dr. Singh said we could try it but he's doubtful it will help at this late stage and in addition he said that they sting quite badly.
He is hungry though and still goes through a whole small tin of Fancy Feast at night and when I come home from work I see that his dry food has been nibbled at. Again, all I can do is keep him comfortable. I fear I may have to make a decision in the not-too-distant future.
Oh about the diapers, somehow I don't think that would work. He won't even tolerate a collar.
Yes, the shots do sting, you're right but Puddy didn't feel it b/c she had hers through the subQ bag but that isn't an option for you so it's understandable why you wouldn't want to put Max through that.
Sometimes all we can do is keep them as comfortable as possible. You're loving Max the best way you know how.
