Hello! I'm really sorry to hear that your family cat is going through this difficult time. It can be really hard when our furry friends are nearing the end of their lives, but it's crucial to make decisions that are compassionate and have their best interest at heart.
There are many reasons why your parents might be considering this decision, such as advanced age, chronic pain, or a serious illness that isn't improving with treatment. What matters most is ensuring your cat's comfort and quality of life. Some signs that may suggest it's time to consider euthanasia include difficulty breathing, persistent pain that cannot be relieved, or an inability to eat, drink, or use the litter box.
At home, you can make sure your cat is in a quiet, comfortable environment with lots of love and attention. Soft bedding and gentle petting can sometimes make a big difference. Also, watch for signs of distress, such as vocalizing in pain, hiding more than usual, or changes in usual behavior. If you observe these, it might be time to discuss the next steps with a veterinarian.
Making this decision can be difficult, and having support can make it a little easier. I’d recommend scheduling a video consultation with us at Dial A Vet. We're here to help guide you through this and discuss the best course for your beloved cat.

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
