This is my cat Belle, this specific photo is about 3 years old. She is currently 17, but today had been diagnosed with very aggressive lung cancer. She will not make it to Christmas, and we have decided to put her down tomorrow to spare her the pain of what is to come.
I don’t know why I’m posting this. She’s spent the whole day with me in my bed since coming home from the vet. She hasn’t left once, not to drink, not to eat, not at all. Her breath is becoming more labored, and a part of me wonders if she’ll make it through the night. I suppose that doesn’t really matter anymore.
Thank you to whoever read this, it means a lot.
I’m actually in a similar situation, although my timeline is more like weeks (maybe months if I’m lucky) and the pet is a dog. It’s like losing a family member.
That’s rough aswell. I don’t know what’s worse, having it happen fast cutting the time you have together short, or having it go slow and long.
Either way you have my best of wishes for yourself and your furry family.
Not knowing when he’s going to take the final turn is definitely hard, but losing a pet suddenly is crazy hard too. I hope you’re holding up alright
