I just spoke to the vet again because Sunny doesn’t seem to be getting any better. He still only has a BM every three days or so, which is not good. His fur is looking all matted and it’s like he’s wasting away before my eyes. Hard to believe that back in July he was so chubby. Anyhow, the vet says that the only other thing they can do is arrange for an ultrasound to see the blockage more clearly, as well as do more blood tests. And I am stuck, not knowing what to do. First of all I don’t have the money (about 200 euros) that an ultrasound, blood tests and a vet consultation will cost. But even if I did, at what point does one keep testing a 16-year-old animal who may simply be “shutting down” due to old age? I mean, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t agree to an operation at this stage. Though if it is feline megacolon, the information I’ve read says that sometimes surgery is needed to remove the blockage and the success rate is very high. It also says that ultrasounds are only done if cancer is suspected. So I don’t know. What should I do? What would you do? This is really breaking my heart.
