Hello,
We have a 5 year old spayed female who has a history rhinitus which is
caused by a cyst in her sinus. We cannot afford the price of an
endoscophy
$5000.00 to have the cyst removed. A couple of times a year she gets a
sinus infection which is treated with antibiotics and she recovers. This
time however it got worse and she became dehydrated, we had three rounds
with the vets to hydrate her and stabilize her. The vet suggested
euthanasia at one point, when she began showing a little improvement we
decided to take her home for the weekend and see how she fares.
Thus far the cat is being force fed Nutrical and a high caloric diet as
well
as water( sinus infection still ). She keeps this all down, she is
lethargic yet her interest in things around her has improved. In other
words
she is mostly sitting hunched over in her box. Kitty will get up to pee
and
she is making stool. I have no idea of a time line for kitty to judge her
progress, I have the time to watch her and feed her and water her every
90
minutes, so we don't have to rush to a decision.
Does anyone have any practical experience with cats who are down?
Thanks in advance,
Cameron Perry
