Cat Forum / General Topics / December 2007My cat is dying
My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the tongue is dead tissue. She has been to the vet. The cat is a 12 year old spayed female. WIth the tongue problem it looks like the cat will starve to death. I live in an apartment. What to do with the dead body when she goes? > My cat has some strange disease of the tongue.

The vet should also know what to do with the cat's body after it is dead. >> My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the >> tongue [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > 2.

The universe is over 20 billion years old.....Why do you wait? Time of life is unimportant. Only the quality of life counts. A cat that is too sick to eat has no quality of life. Put her down now. >>> My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the >>> tongue [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > When is the time to put the cat down?

Just can't get the food down. We are trying all kinds of ways to get food down the cat. Any suggestions? > >>>> My cat has some strange disease of the tongue.

It would help if the vets diagnosis was included in this post. Surely the vet would have told "tom" prescribed procedures for dealing with this affliction. tom wrote: > When is the time to put the cat down? > She still has a good sized belly.

How does a cat that's starving have a "good sized belly"? The same way that children are starving but appear to have full bellies >> Well, try soft canned food.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > The same way that children are starving but appear to have full bellies The diagnosis is not clear, but the right half of the tongue is dead or dying, left half unhealthy color, swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Blood work all normal. Apparently, the cat is is in good health except for the tongue thing. strong desire for food, but great difficulty getting anything down. We are feeding her the special canned vet stuff mixed with water. also trying to get some down with a syringe. The cat was very heavy in the summer. 14 lbs The cat is now at 10 LBS and still strong by the fight she put up at the vet. >>> Well, try soft canned food.

Swollen lymph nodes to me would indicate the cats immune system is trying to fight off, or being attacked by something. I'm no expert, but you would think the vet would have tested the blood for cancer, toxins and/or other diseases by the dead/dying tounge tissue. Very puzzling. >>My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the tongue >>is dead tissue. She has been to the vet. >> >>The cat is a 12 year old spayed female.

I will probably get a lot of flack on this but I can not help but wondering if this original post was a legitimate post after reading the above 2 post by the original poster or if it was an attention getter or such. In first post says the cat is in good health except for tongue thing but yet the cat has fair sized or enlarged belly, trouble eating and they using a syringe to get food down, has swollen lymph nodes, has lost weight since summer but is in good health. Just wondering here. If it is a legitimate post good luck to you and the cat. >>>My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the >>>tongue is dead tissue. She has been to the vet.

A large part of the >>>tongue [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > If it is a legitimate post good luck to you and the cat. I have no idea why you would think this. The cat has had more thorough exam since. The whole tongue has serious disease condition, most likely cancer. Blood is normal except for elevated WBC. The rest of the cat is in good health. The cat is now starving since the tongue is preventing food from going down. The cat was 14 LBS in the summer. It is now 10 pounds. When it was 14 LBS it had a big belly. >>>>My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the >>>>tongue [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > down. The cat was 14 LBS in the summer.

Most of us a damaged goods when it comes to this. We all have been burned many times. I make it a policy to treat it as truthful unless it appears to be off the way better safe than sorry. I rather be burned than be wrong. Plus we are on the internet we only have what the other person post to go on and we are only human. If you say blue I might say royal blue when describing a color etc Happy Holidays > My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the tongue > is dead tissue.

What to do with > the dead body when she goes? You could cremate her. Ask the vet about it. That way you will always have her ashes with you. Or if you don't think you would like that you can always make a grave for her or just let the vet take care of the body. gocatgo >> My cat has some strange disease of the tongue.

I think she would have liked that. > My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the tongue > is dead tissue. She has been to the vet. What did the vet say was the problem? tom was thinking very hard : > My cat has some strange disease of the tongue. A large part of the tongue > is dead tissue.

What to do with > the dead body when she goes? Personally myself I would stop horseshitting around and take the cat back to the vet. When she dies stick her underneath your pillow and the fairies will take her in the night. What utter nonsense.  SignatureCount Baldoni
