kitty hospice in home care for an elderly cat who's given up eating toileting. Is there a protocol?

We have sub-Q fluids performed oral syringe feeding. It's easy to fade. Sounds like life is over. I would take him to the vet and get him killed. (I recently did this with my 21 year old), it is difficult but the best for the animal. Joy and sorrow for your loss. It would help if you have more information. The cat has been thoroughly investigated by a veterinarian? If yes, what was the diagnosis? Your cat can of thyroid problems, diabetes or suffering. Both conditions can lead to anorexia and bowel dysfunction. Both can be treated. If your cat has been diagnosed and treated, and no longer responds to treatment, it is up to you to decide its future. It may happen soon, or he can hang for a while. If your cat is falling and suffering is a compassionate, humane euthanasia solution. You can be up to the end for him. None of us will ever loved an animal, it is sad to lose a part of life. My sympathy to you and your family. Looks like you've done everything you can do is your time, sorry for your loss afraidI'm this cat fixed. You and I know that the vet should take the next step. : (.
