I fear that my senior Boo is on his decline; *Update #109; 10/13

I'm so glad to hear that he's doing much better. Hopefully he'll continue to do well from now on.

Just keep getting better, Boo. Kisses and love from me and the boys.

Such good news about Boo! You go, beloved boy!

Mary, you are overdue for good news on Boo - and I am glad to read it!

I will keep him in my prayers though that the good news continues.

Boo had a rough night last night, back and forth to the litter box. He started leaking urine again so I called Dr. Lee and he said to bring him right in. Boo was blocked so Dr. Lee sedated him and inserted the catheter and he said that there was tissue in Boo's urine. Dr. Lee did an ultrasound and found a tumor on the bladder; it's so big that Boo has many more days like today in store for him. He's always been so healthy and he's the epitome of the laid back cat so at his advanced age of 19, I don't want to put him through that. Tomorrow at 11:20 AM I'll be helping him to the Bridge. Now to tell my son. Boo is his heart kitty. This one's gonna hurt a lot.

Mary, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know it's a difficult decision but you're making the right one. Soon he'll be pain free and at peace. I hope his journey to the Bridge will be a peaceful one. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Oh, Mary, I am so very sorry to read this. Much love and sympathy to you and Boo and your son.

May you travel easily to the Bridge, dear kitty, and be greeted by so many friends where you will await your Meowmie to join you One Fine Day and your Heart Brother another Fine Day.

Now I'm having second thoughts. I just called to see how Boo is doing and if he's comfortable. Dr. Feeman took my call and said that Boo ate a good meal and that he's very active. They put an e-collar on him so that he wouldn't pull at the catheter. I just really don't know what to do now. I thought my mind was made up but when I got this report from Dr. Feeman, my stomach lurched. I don't want to do the wrong thing. I want to give him every chance. I have to talk to Dr. Lee tomorrow to be sure that I heard him right b/c I think he said that Boo might not block for another 6 months or he could block by tomorrow night. I don't want to keep putting him through this and I'll be gone for 8 days to visit my son for Thanksgiving. I would feel awful if anything happened to Boo while I was gone. My cat sitter is a registered vet tech and she'd know what to do and she'd get Boo in to Dr. Lee but I wouldn't be there. I'm a mess now.
