Sorry to make a double post, I didn't find this thread right away before I posted in the "My cat has diabetes thread"
As I posted in the previous thread, It turns out my cat's diabetes developed due to cancer in his liver.
He stopped eating this weekend while I was away and the vet made the diagnosis today when I brought him in. His liver function was well off the charts.
It was really sudden turn of events as he was perfectly fine a week ago and his blood sugars were really well controlled
I said good bye to him and he was put to sleep. The vet was really good, gave him an injection to put him to sleep, and waited until I left the room before giving him the OD dose
The cruel thing about it is that it's ~$90 for euthanisia, but $140 for the process with the owner (me) present
Anyways, it was in this thread that had the very nice poems and tributes and today, they have much more meaning for me
