@lalo_primero The decision to give up on treatment was made a year ago. From that time up until yesterday, the patient suffered from vomiting, stomatitis, and constipation due to chronic renal failure and made several visits to the hospital.
@lalo_primero However, looking back now, I regret my decision, wondering if we might have had a little more time together had I continued the treatment.
@lalo_primero However, the doctor told me that the decision made a year ago wasn't a mistake; the mistake would have been to keep putting off that decision indefinitely. He added that, having spent eighteen years together, it must have been a very happy life for the cat, too.
@lalo_primero We decided to forgo treatment. Given the retinal detachment and hearing loss caused by high blood pressure, as well as the weakening of the heart muscle due to advanced age, we determined that the physical burden of ongoing treatment would be far too severe.
