HowieDawn, only you and your vet can make the decision as to when to say goodbye. But I'm sure you know that. You may be looking for some advice from an "impartial" observer. Two things I can say from my distant position - she will not overcome this in the long run, even if she has her occasional good days, and if she is constantly vomiting, it may be time already. Not only is the nausea miserable, but if she can't keep anyting, even water, down, then she is literally starving and thirsting, which is also extremely uncomfortable (any of us diabetics on the board who have been through a bout of DKA can tell you the agony of extreme dehydration). Furthermore, the starvation and thirst are throwing off her chemistries, making her feel even sicker.

Having said that, the baby food is a wonderful idea, and it may nourish her enough that she gets a few more good days or weeks so y'all can better prepare for saying goodbye.

You don't mention if Lucy has the swollen abdomen that is common with FIP. Sleeper was okay as long as his belly was aspirated, but it got to where he was going in every day to have that needle stuck in his stomach. The night he came crawling into the living room because his belly was so swollen that his crippled legs wouldn't hold it up, I decided it was time. As has been said on this board before, it was the hardest, yet easiest, decision I've ever had to make. Hard because no one can say goodbye to a friend so dearly beloved, easy because no one can allow such suffering to a friend so dearly beloved.

I'm praying for Lucy and her mommy and daddy her love her so much.
