I can't find my original thread, but I wanted to let you know that my dear old man Tikka (6 years) passed away last night. He was being treated for a UTI but the vet had stated that he was showing loads of signs of old age (really slowing down, massive weight loss etc), so although the UTI was fixable he probably wouldn't last as he was dying of old age.
Yesterday he was off pellets, but eating veg. I made the decision that if he was still off his pellets in the morning I may have to consider euthanasia. Thankfully, and i know that sounds harsh, he passed last night with his friend cuddling up to him. I am so pleased that it wasn't a long drawn out process adn that he could die in his bed rather than a vets office.
RIP my lovely Tikka
