I hope we have made the right decision. The doctor who examined Snoopy this morning did not have a very good prognosis. Because of the rapid onset and the fact that she was so filled with fluid, the suspicion was cancer. The poor old girl was so sick that I could not even imagine taking this further. IF it had been one of my younger cats, I'd have said yes - let's find out and treat it. But Snoopy at almost 16 has already had her share of health problems-- diabetes, the thyroid disease, and a heart murmer. I do not think she would have come back from any agressive testing and treatment.
Of course, the doctor can never tell you what to do. But she said it was not a bad decision. She said we had taken very good care of the cat over her lifetime, and I do hope and pray that is true.
Rest In Peace, Sweet Snoopy.

I'm so sorry Flo. Yes you made the right decision. I love my vet. She told me that our animals let us know when it's time. And she was right. You did the right thing. I'm very sorry for your loss.
