Hello there,
I'm truly sorry to hear that your cat is nearing the end of her life. It’s an emotional time, and it’s understandable to have questions about her care and comfort. When it comes to stopping medications, it really depends on the overall goal for her remaining time. Many pet owners in situations like this choose to reduce medications to avoid stress or discomfort for their cat.
If the medications are for chronic conditions like heart failure or diabetes, continuing them might not provide much benefit at this stage. However, if any medication is providing pain relief or comfort, it might be worth continuing. The focus now is on ensuring your cat feels peaceful and comfortable.
You can support her by providing a warm, cozy place to rest and stay with her if she seems to enjoy your presence. Offer gentle pets and reassure her with your voice.
Keep an eye out for signs of discomfort, such as labored breathing, vocalizations, or restlessness. If you notice any distress, it might be best to consult with a vet to discuss options that might ease her transition.
To guide you in making some of these delicate decisions, a video consult with us at Dial A Vet could offer personalized advice tailored to your cat’s situation. I’m here if you need assistance.
Take care, and know you're doing the best for your beloved companion during this time.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
