Hi everyone,
I’m just looking to see if anyone has gone through anything similar and what they did.
One of my girls (Penny) is around 4.5 and about 6 months ago the vet diagnosed her with ovarian cysts. I did not get her spayed - the vet advised she was not very healthy (too skinny) and that the survival rate was not great for her age. I also knew that if I had gotten her the surgery and she did make it, it was doubtful that she would recover. I had to get her sedated for a X-Ray and she stopped eating for two days - so I believe think she would not be able to handle that. The vet advised that I just spoil her rotten and make her as happy as possible until she’s ready to go.
I feel so much guilt for not getting the surgery but at the same time that I know my little girl and know that she wouldn’t have done well with it.
Today, I noticed that she has started crying when she’s peeing and she has had a lot of calcium in her pee. From my research I’ve read that the ovarian cysts and put pressure on her bladder and cause stones/sludge. I have contacted the vet to try to book an appointment to determine what it is. If she has a bladder stone, then I’m going to assume it’s her time. I do not want her to suffer at all.
Just wondering if anyone has been through anything like this and I guess I also needed to vent a bit.
Thank you in advance.
