Our cat Millie is 19 years old and is generally very content and comfortable. She vomits more now then sh did when she was younger but returns to normal quickly after vomiting. We just want to keep her safe, cozy and comfortable in her senior years. Now some may disagree what I’m about to say. As long as Millie is comfortable, we are choosing not to take her to the vet when she vomits or has some diarrhea. Why? you may ask. The answer is simple, as long as she is not suffering, I would rather her stay in her home where she is comfortable. Poking, prodding, tests etc. at this age, would probably not do anything except cost you, scare and hurt your pet and not do anything to stop her age progression. Now let me be clear, if there is something other that normal aging, like violent vomiting, coughing up blood, agitation, then I still would recommend taking your pet to the vet as soon as possible. It is obvious that she is suffering.

Unfortunately, we can’t “fence time” and stop the aging process but we can provide love, care and comfort for our aging pets.

Remember, pets are family!
