Is euthanasia an appropriate option for a cat with a rectocele?

Question

Cat is age 14, and has battled urinary incontinence for about 2 years, and now she has the rectocele. Poor girl. Still enjoys playing and being held, but bowel movements are painful due to her minor rectocele.

Answer 1

I think it comes down to a very personal decision. What I have used in the past are the following questions.

Does the animal have quality of life?
Does it enjoy its food?
Does it enjoy walks /going out?
Is it in pain?

Its a difficult decision to make, I had to have a dog euthanised a few weeks ago, but I like to think of it as the last act of love you can perform for you pet...totally unselfishly...thinking of you as you make the decision...;
