Saying our goodbyes to Kitty aka Mister Cat, stretch cat, Mr. Squeaky, Little guy, Booboo and more. →[More:]

Last Tuesday he had pain. We went to the vet and he had Hyperthyroidism, a minor bladder infection and very high blood sugar. We got antibiotics and a drug for the thyroid and a Nsaid for pain. Checking his blood sugar the next day I found he was at the low end of normal. Seems the high blood sugar was just from the stress of a night at the vets.

He didn't seem to feel any better and Sunday he started having trouble walking. Brought him back to the vets yesterday and he has cancer in his spine. The dorsal spine (where the muscles attach) of L3 was already eaten away. By last night he was fully paralysed in the hind quarters.

He is drugged up on synthetic opioids and has an appetite. We are spending our last night with him.
