Max

[carole]

I have taken Tramadol myself and for me personally i would never recommend it to anyone, it was the most awful stuff ever, good for the pain, but my head was in a different place, i could not even concentrate to pick up the phone and dial a number.

Good luck at the new vets, and just do whatever you think is best,what I and others may do may differ, you have to go with your own feelings about Max, I am thinking of you both and wishing for some positive news,just know we are all here for you through this very difficult time. HUGS

Crap, my keyboard is not the greatest. It's got water all over it.

It was a long appointment and in summary, second vet said there is nothing else we can do. He moved Max every which way but he didn't flinch so we are both convinced that Max is not in pain - although I do know that they hide it well..... We will not explore any other option at this point as he is too far gone. Please, no bashing or thinking that I've given up, but there comes a point that quality of life is what counts. I will continue to make life easier for him as I see fit. He's wasting away - only 4 lbs now.

He hardly ate or drank anything last night. It's one day at a time at this point.

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine that anyone will say anything negative about the course you've chosen for Max. We do what we feel is best and that's all we can do. I wish it were different for Max and you. Prayers are going up right now for you both. (((HUGS))) Keep the faythe.

Lots of love going out to you and Max tonight.
I know that you will always do the right thing for him.

Hugs to you and Max. You love him, and have given him the benefit of a second opinion. I know his huge comfort is having you with him and near him.

Your late Xmas card is going in the mail tomorrow, to you and Max. I hope he is there when it arrives.

Oh Slick i am so sorry to read this,i feared the worst, but one never gives up hope do we? just make Max as comfortable as you can,continue to love him and know you have made the right choice, it does become about quality of life for them in the end.

Have you tried offering him some kitty milk, it is specially for cats with lots of vitamins in it,with lactose removed, i have found it a godsend for Ash,he might take it ,worth a try maybe.


We continue to think of you both and send you lots of love and hugs.

Slick, I am so sorry to hear the news. I, like Carole was hoping for good news.
Like she said, you never can tell how things like this turn out. Give Max some hugs and kisses for me.

I canrot see how anyone could bash you Slick , after all that you have done to help Max regain his health.
But sadly we all have so much time on Earth and noone lives forever.
Max has you with him, and that will make becoming an Angel that much easier , knowing that you love him, and will always be there for him.
When a Found Cat passes on to Paradise , I miss them so much , but look at thier movies and remember when we were so much younger.
Prayers for You and Max from us all.
