I'll most likely have to put my cat down tomorrow, I can't stop crying.

ShellyZz August 11th

I've had Candy for 10 years.  She helps a lot with my depression.  She has a deformity on her face she's had since birth.  It caused her to only be able to breath out of one nostril.  This year it has gotten worse.  And her eye got infected.  Or so I thought.  She's had to injections to help it and nothing.  This next bit is graphic so be warned.

Her eye is getting bigger by the day and even bleeds.  It also has growths on it.  The vet now believes its a tumor.  She also keeps getting nose bleeds.

Tomorrow she is supposed to get an xray but the vet most likely will just tell me to put her down.  All the vets she's been to said let her die naturally (she is most likely in pain) Or put her down.  (so she won't suffer anymore)

I'm just devastated.  I thought we'd have a good ten or so years left.  It hurts so much.  I feel like I'm betraying her if I have to put her down.  She still plays and eats.  But she can't close her eye anymore.  She's been to the vet at least 5 times in 30 days and nothing is helping her.

@RedWell  thank you.  It was so hard and I still keep crying.  The vet did say putting her down would be the kindest thing for her.

Candy did have to be put down.  The vet took one look and said the best thing for her is to be put down.  There was no treatment.  Thank you for the 10 years Candy and know we'll miss you.  Now she is no longer in pain.

@ShellyZz. She was a beautiful cat. (I had a calico also). I agree with the vet that you did the kindest thing for her so she won’t have to suffer anymore.  I’m very sorry for your loss.

@adventurousBranch3786  thank you.  Its hard but my other cats are keeping me company.  Seeing Candy's spots empty hurts so much.
