PTS question

[ihatework]

I have a couple of lovely old cats. Both are very hyperthyroid and have been on borrowed time for a while.

The older of the two (18/19 ish) is actually chugging along okay.

The younger one (16/17ish) is going downhill and I looked at her this evening and just knew it was her time. Something has changed in her eyes/manner so it will be a vet job tomorrow.

I'm just wondering if it would be fairer to do them together?

They are most likely related, get on very well and im normally away with work a couple of days a week (neighbour feeds) so the older one would be left alone for 48h at a time.

What would you do?

If you decide that it would be best for both to go together, then I would respect that decision. One of our cats was greatly affected by her friend being PTS even though there were still other cats in the house, he was her best buddy. If she'd have been old and had heath problems at the time, I would have seriously considered letting both go together.

very sorry OP. I do feel that you are doing the right thing, and lovely that your vet is coming to your home, much less stressful for all involved. I hope all goes as well as it can. Best wishes to you.
