Vet said euthanasia is the only option left for my cat.

I'm truly sorry to hear that you’re facing such a tough situation with your cat. It’s an incredibly emotional time when we’re faced with a decision like this, and it’s understandable to have questions or seek other perspectives.



Veterinarians typically recommend euthanasia when a pet's quality of life is no longer maintainable. This could be due to severe pain, unmanageable illness, or a terminal condition. Conditions like cancer, kidney failure, or chronic pain can sometimes reach a point where treatment is no longer effective or would cause more suffering than benefit.



At home, you can try to keep your cat as comfortable as possible. Make sure they have a soft, quiet place to rest and that their basic needs are easily accessible. Offer their favorite foods, but don’t worry if they aren't eating much, as this is part of some end-stage illnesses.



Watch for signs of distress such as labored breathing, hiding, or vocalizing more than usual. These might indicate that your cat is in pain or discomfort and needs immediate help.



If you feel uncertain or want to explore all possible options, scheduling a video consult with a veterinarian could provide clarity and peace. We’re here to help discuss any second opinions or alternative care options that might be available.
