Tough last few days and a very sad day today.
Sam has been a bit off colour last few days.
Thought he had a fur ball but seemed very wheezy yesterday, came on very quickly.
Off to vet, possibly asthma or something worse, off to another practice for an X-ray and lung tests, nothing definitive but asthma seemed most likely.
Took him home yesterday evening, got his steroid then settled down.
Had a difficult night and I called emergency vet at 1am.
Said if we brought him in they’d repeat same tests already carried out a few hours previously, which included a general anaesthetic.
Not willing to put him through that so gave him another steroid as advised and sat up all night with him.
Back to our own vet this morning before they opened and he’d perked up so they put him on oxygen and plan to keep him overnight and tomorrow.
Sadly he deteriorated and they did a scan and found a large mass.
We were with him and he went peacefully.

Aye they seem to go down like lightning don't they, one day running around like they're still kittens next day gone, we had a scare with Kizzy a couple of months ago (our eldest) but she pulled through.
