Oh, I'm so sorry Sambo is not doing well.  How well I know how you feel.

 

Maybe you can give steroids a try.  They might not work for too long, but even if they don't, if they give Sambo longer quality of life time, it could be worth it.

 

I will be including your precious boy in my prayers.

Yes, having had ats most of my adult life, I have had to make that difficult decision several times. 

 

@Tessa Mendoza, he has been on a daily dose of prednisolone since the beginning.  It does have the risk of diabetes, but he would never accept the mask for giving flovent which would've enabled me to take him off.  However, he did tolerate being put in the box to give breathing treatments when needed.

So sorry to hear this news.  I also have an ill cat that I am babying right now.  Yes, the specialty vets are expensive, but they also are experts and will do everything they can to support your animal companion.

 

Sending you best wishes during this difficult time...
