So pleased to hear he’s picking up again, he’s looking well.

He’s still plodding along, albeit very slowly in the heat. Munching on prawns, fish fingers, and having his evening stroll out front !

Saw the vet last Thurs and she said the wound is not going to heal itself. We have 3 options. I’ve talked them through with DSis and DBro. If any of you kind Dibbers have experience or opinions, feel free to comment.

Option 1:
Carry on as we are, bathing and keeping the wound clean. He’s not in pain so it’s ‘do-able’. But if it suddenly got infected he would be very unwell and in pain very quickly. I really don’t want to take the risk that his last hours would be so miserable for him.

Option 2:
she could put a couple of stitches in. Thing is, it would be under light sedation and local anaesthetic. He’s nearly 22 so it’s a bigger risk than for a much younger cat. He might not come through the procedure.

Option 3:
Have him PTS before it turns nasty and makes him really poorly.

Such a hard decision.

I’m so sorry I have no experience of this myself but in my opinion I’d have to go for option 2 and go for it. I don’t think 1 is a go and I couldn’t put my baby down without trying. What ever you do it will be the right thing my good wishes are with you.

Oh gosh that’s a really hard one.

If he’s otherwise OK (at least eating/drinking/enjoying his little life) I don’t think I could bear to PTS. However that option will be difficult no matter what.

I actually have no advice, sorry, just loads of love to Eric xx

Such a hard decision to make, he is your baby and must be so difficult to work out what to do for the best, i would go for option 2, just to give him a chance, if the worst happened and he didnt make it through he wouldnt know, but if it works may buy him more time and be a bit more comfortable for him. Pixie dust for Eric. X

Glad he is doing ok for now. What a really hard decision to make. I think 3 is out, as thats just unthinkable. Dont even pretend to know a lot about older cats and anaesthetic, but from the vet programs I have watched they keep a very close eye on them, so hopefully he should be ok. Think that would be my choice. What do sis and hubby think?
