Really sad.
I'm not too comfortable with opening up about it, but my dad's cat of 17+ years might be dying soon. My dad noticed something was wrong when she had two fainting spells. I had to sit with him in the room while the doctor told us she realistically isn't going to last much longer. A flea problem dad never noticed she had, incredible red blood cell deficiency, critical kidney failure, and while I don't remember if the doctor said it; she's pretty old. We could pay for her to be treated, but realistically her quality of life wouldn't be good enough and she could outright die from the treatment. I'm not one to cry, and I've never seen my dad cry before. We both sobbed. It was horrible. I can't imagine having to be a doctor and telling grieving people the facts to their crying faces. And dad's going to be almost all alone out there after she's gone. We're treating our cat's flea problem and hoping she can hold out a little longer in peace. However long that is. I don't remember if she has days or months or maybe years if she doesn't suddenly crash. Dad doesn't want her last moments to be in a hospital room.
