Been to the vets today and my 15 year old moggy has shadows on his lungs. Vet says it's causing fluid build up so drained 150mls off his chest and we have tablets to reduce it's return but he looks old sad and tired. So gutting, had him since 8 weeks old. Don't think it will be long. Dear old soul still eating well so don't want to give up until he does :(

I hope that Syd improves. *vibes*

We have one with congestive heart failure who originally had shocking x-rays showing loads of fluid on his lungs. With the right tablets he has improved so much and now you wouldn't know how ill he really is. Just incase it is helpful, our boy is on Pred, Fortekor and Furosemide.

He is very poorly, still eating steak and ham. Don't want to give up until he does but wonder if I am being kind? Really hoping he tells me he feels better soon or a lot worse so it's easier to decide. Tough. I hate this.

So sorry, I also lost my little Syd, over a year ago now to the same thing. I knew then that when the fluid started to build up, it was only a matter of time. I kept him as long as I could, but he had a fit and I knew it was time. I spent his last night with him on the sofa and let him go in the morning, he was purring as they put him to sleep!
