Ollie is gone

I’m so sorry. It may feel like you’re going through this alone, but we are all here for you.

Hugs and jingles for you both.

Thank you. It’s been tough. He looked like sh*t yesterday, fought me over his pills and hissed and clawed at me so I had to abandon feeding him. I went to work and was worse than useless. He apparently hid most of the day and I managed to feed him last night but I was convinced it was his last day. Then - today he ate some breakfast!! On his own! Cue my jaw dropping. But then went back into hiding.

It’s day by day. Talked to the vet today and she agrees with me. The mass in his mouth has doubled and is creeping forward on his jaw. It looks like a mass of pink bubbles. ech…It’s pretty clear this is cancer.

Off to try to feed him and then to bed for both of us.

How are things today?

Thinking of you and Ollie.

oh ugh. every day I think is his last. Fed him last night, went to bed and he woke up looking very seedy. But again he ate on his own. This rollercoaster is no fun. But if he wants to hang on by one claw then ok I will help him.

Ollie is on some good pain medication? The cancer must be painful.

He gets gabapentin as needed but even small amounts make him really loopy to the point where he can’t even walk and his respiratory system gets very depressed. I gave him .4 one night and thought he had died in the night his breathing was so slow.

It must be tough watching your cat suffer. I wish him peace and love.

Even the lowest of doses of gabapentin makes me so loopy I walk into walls.

Wishing Ollie peace and comfort.

Well, it isn’t fun and I’m not enjoying this one bit. When he tells me he doesn’t want to go on, he won’t have to. Like I said - it’s a day by day thing.

I’m so sorry. You both fought the good fight. The worst thing about owning animals is that they can only make the journey with us for a little while.

Hugs and jingles to you.

OMG shiloh, it hasn’t even been 2 weeks since you lost Silver. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. It sounded like Ollie had kinda stabilized, but I know things can go downhill quickly.

Thinking of you and Ollie. Love and hugs. I’m so sorry. :cry: :heart:
