Greetings All,
I'm afraid it may be getting close to the time to say farewell to my baby girl, Lacey. She is 17 1/2 years old. We think she has gone deaf because her "meow" is louder than ever and she does it OFTEN. We've had to lock her in a room on the opposite side of the house at night because we couldn't get any sleep. Of course she doesn't understand why and it breaks my heart. She had a urinary infection in Feb and they diagnosed mild kidney disease but she was absolutely traumatized by us giving her the meds. I hated it too! She seems to also have kitty dementia because she will walk in a room and be VERY skittish like she has never been there before, then she does her "meow" which no one can understand unless you've had a Bengal. All of this and then at times she seems okay.
I'm really considering in-home euthanasia (mobile vet) so she doesn't have to be traumatized by being put in a carrier which she also HATES! During the constant vocalization I think it's time and then later when she seems somewhat okay I feel guilty and confused. I'd appreciate any thoughts or others experiences.
