And I’d do it every time because I love her dearly.

      She doesn’t appear to be in pain. She’s just recently started coughing. I took her to the vet this morning and they want to do an echo and X-rays to check her for asthma and congestive heart failure. That’s ANOTHER 1k$ D:

      But yeah, if she’s in congestive heart failure, I might have to look at euthanasia :( I’d be devo. But I don’t want her to be uncomfortable or in pain. I gotta do what’s best for her, not what’s best for me

        You’re a good person and a good pet parent. All you can do is just keep doing the next right thing, until the only right thing left is to keep her from suffering. She’s lucky to have you.

          Thank you :). She is not in any pain yet, but once she is, I will give her the mercy of a painless end. I would HATE if I kept her in pain just because I didn’t want to lose her :(

          I’m gonna get her cremated so she can be with me always. She’s the first cat I’ve had who was mine, not my family’s. She’s such a great kitty <3

          Not everyone lives in America. The echo is the cheapest I found as I rang around to MANY places and 600$ was the cheapest by far. One place was 800$ for the echo.

            Am in America and my pup had an echo last month. It was $600USD. Your prices don’t sound out of line to me.
