My friends' cat is dying. She has colon cancer, and is starting to slip
into a coma slowly, not taking food, nor water for a couple of days now.
They don't want a Vet to come in and put her down 'instantly' but would
rather let nature takes its course slowly/naturally. But they also do not
want her to suffer. She is apparently not suffering now.
They have 2mg Valium tabs that they started giving her last night, one
actually, that made her very relaxed. They have more.
Anyone know:
how many mgs. of Valium a cat can take? and how much would it take to
OD her?
Is there a better/gentler way? like . . . do cats respond to morphine?
Has anyone had any personal experience with this?
My friends really do not just want a Vet to come in an 'stop her heart'.
And fortunatly the cat is not in major suffering mode. Not yet anyway.
Just labored breathing, and extreme lethargy, and non-eating/drinking, and
barely moving, and also: not very responsive to external pain (like if you
squeeze her paw HARD she doesn't notice or flinch).
Please email me privately if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Richard Goldman
