    I'm so sorry to read this distressing news (I didn't see it last night). Many prayers going out to Cassie and to you.

    It does seem odd that it came on so suddenly - like it's a loose or broken tooth, or even a dislocated jaw. If you haven't done so already, then I am in agreement with all the others about getting her back to the vet. Is there a different ER vet to take her to?? - since I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling after they mentioned the PTS option without even knowing what is wrong! If not - then a trip to her regular vet on Monday is really a must, and you need to get her other issues addressed too.

    I'm hoping you both had a better night. Please take care and let us know how things are going.

    Good morning, everybody. Just reporting in... I can tell that Cassie is not herself. She is quiet and lying around, not taking an interest in things as usual. She is also calm, though. I am trying to get water mixed with a little liquid from 'pate' type cat food down her every hour or two. She's fought me when I've tried to do it but the last couple of times I am getting good solid swallows. Local vet opens at 7:45 AM tomorrow so I will get her in as soon as I can. (Local vet is about a 10-minute drive away and emergency vet is about 25 minutes away) If you'd keep us in your thoughts, I would appreciate that very much.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    All this indicates a cat in pain. I am so sorry Cassie.

    Sweet Cassie cat, good for you for swallowing the food - your mom is doing her best to help you.

    I hope her love and care offsets the pain. Prayers that your regular vet finds the problem and that it is fixable! Hugs to you and your mom, and more prayers.

    Candace, Cassie does not HAVE a regular vet. There is no need for Cassie to be suffering all weekend like this, this is a perfect reason for the ER vet, there are no other vet records, and the cat is in pain. I am really upset that Cassie is being left to be in pain as she is.

    I agree with Sandie.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. It sounds like Cassie is in pain and I think you should take her to the vet. Couldn't the emegency vet have given her something for pain, at least. Perhaps ring them and ask. If there's something serious wrong, why didn't they find out when they checked her?

    I hope she will make it though this. Sending lots of good thoughts.
