More Metacam or not?

Sorry I cut myself off. Just many thanks again

Thank you all for your kind words. Because of my age (81) she will be my last little cat so miss her a lot. Heer growth had grown so fast and

So sorry to read about Mistie - it's so hard to know when to make the right decision but you've been brave and set her free from pain which is the final gift we can give our much loved pets

So sorry - it is such a hard decision but the right one. Take care of yourself now.

You made the best decision for her, and she will be grateful to be out of pain. Will be an empty house, but we are all thinking of you.

Run free little Mistie. You had a good life with someone who loved you enough to set you free, even though she miss you terribly ?? ?

So sorry June you did the right thing but its so hard isn't it.
Thinking of you

So sorry to hear that, but you did what was right for your Mistie. You loved her to the end, and you will miss her now, but you gave her a good life x

Feel for you. There will be a Mistie shaped hole in your lives.

Mistie has gone to rainbow bridge. The vet said that I had no choice but to let her go. She will be so missed, bless her.

So sad to read this. It’s the hardest part of having a pet but the best you can do.

I’ve had two very old dogs PTS this year. I held them in my arms while the vet injected them and they peacefully slipped away. Sending (((hugs)))

You have my sympathies. The poor girl. It is so hard to have to let them go, but you will be doing the best thing by having Misty PTS. I would give her the Metacam - keep her pain-free.

Good luck, take care.

I think judy is right, whatever keeps your cat comfortable through the night. It's so sad when we have to make these decisions for our pets. You love her and will do what's best even though it breaks your heart.
Thinking of you June.

I don’t know about her medication but am so sorry. Such a hard time. You will be doing the only possible thing tomorrow. (Been there so many times).

I think what ever will make her comfortable for tonight. Thoughts are with you.x

It is so hard - we've had the same decision to make several times, one of them 17 years ago tomorrow and it still makes me shed a tear. 9 is far too young but try to remember that if she had been a wild cat she would have gone off and on her own and just curled up and gone to sleep or worse still been attacked by a stronger animal. If you can, stay with her and let her know you are there. As our vet told us sometimes even the best isn't good enough but you are doing the best you can and eventually will look back at the wonderful memories. I will be thinking about you and your lovely little cat!

JuneS My heart goes out to you. It's a decision that none of us pet-lovers ever want to make but sometimes we have to do it with love. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow when you see the vet. for you.

Thank you both for your replies. There is no way she can have it after food as is not eating at all. She lets me touch the growth but is obviously very uncomfortabe when walking and sitting. At one time the vet held it in her hand and measured it but now that can't be done and the whole of her lower stomach feels hard. She is only 9 and such a sweet little girl. It is awful to take another living creatures life but must do what needs to be done because we love them. I just hope I am doing the right thing.

We have given our dogs Metacam and been told by the vets to stick rigidly to the prescribed dosage as it can damage the kidneys. However that might not be a priority with your cat. I am thinking about you at this difficult time - it's never easy to make the right decision.

If you think it would help her, you could give another does, vets sometimes start with a double dose of Metacam anyway, and there will have been a long gap between the doses. Try to get something into her stomach first, as can irritate, like any non-steroidal.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow, it is a terrible decision to have to make, but if she is in pain and the tumour is inoperable, then you are absolutely making the right decision.
