I'm sad to report an N-1 pet-wise in our household. Beattie developed a limp and swollen shoulder a few days ago and initially it was thought to be an infection so she came home from the vet with antibiotics, painkillers and instructions that she must rest.

Yesterday she took a sudden turn for the worse and went for a scan where it was found that she had a tumour and that the swollen shoulder had been a secondary effect.

Since, strictly speaking, she belongs to my parents they had to make a hard decision and earlier today Beattie was put to sleep.

Yes, he is okay apart from feeling his age a bit from time to time. I don't know how he will take this as they were rarely apart in their lives.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Thanks for the thoughts. It feels a bit unreal at the moment and I'm still expecting her to come and nudge my elbow for attention.

I had two cats like that before the one we have now.

Trixie and Toulouse. Trixie was much older than Toodies (what we called him) and managed to live to 18. However, Toodies developed liver cancer and his stomach grew huge. He was finding it very hard to walk and felt ill all the time. My dad was very attatched to Toulouse as they spent a lot of time together and showed affection towards each other.
Unfortunately Toulouse had to be put down because he was finding it very hard to walk and the cancer was very painful.

A few months after that, Trixie started showing the signs of old age and was becoming very weak. She probably also missed Toulouse. She was very thin and rarely ate.
Eventually she became so weak that she couldnt even go to the bathroom and ended up wetting herself in her bed. It was a very sad time. I was out on my bike at the time and got a call from home. I rushed back to find her lay there weeping. All of my family were utterly upset and we all went together to the vet. Me and my brother stayed in the car and when my parents came back out of the vets, Trixie wasnt with them.

Trixie had been with us since she was a kitten and was older than both me and my brother, so my parents were very attatched to her and Toulouse.

We have another cat now (on page 1) and we have had her for about 2 years. She did have a brother but someone else had claimed him.

I know this is no consolation, but if I were ever in Beattie's position, I would wish to be put to sleep gently.

Sorry to hear it.
