Hi all
Not been on here much lately, no time with a toddler.
Mr Fluff is now almost 15, and has on the whole been very well. He was diagnosed with glaucoma 6 months ago, which is well medicated and he has metacam for his arthritis, which has become progressively worse (understandably) For the last few months he has had the occassional blip where he seems very sleepy and quiet, and I start thinking 'this is it' and then he comes out of it. He's in one at the moment, flopped out at the moment and asleep but looking peaceful. But he's finding it difficult to get up, though when he does is fine. We were away over the weekend so it may be that he's getting over the stress of that (he boarded with the vet) but its raising the question again of when is enough enough.
I don't want to let him suffer but at the same time don't want him to go before he's ready. He's still giving me kisses and munching well.
He's such a dear sweet bun who has been with me for far longer than I have known my husband and frankly is generally a much better source of comfort. It breaks my heart to have to contemplate this
I'm going to watch for a few days and hope he comes out of it again. Vibes please...!
