Not sure what I should do
Currently my cat is 18 years old. Just this morning he stopped being able to walk on one of his hind legs. At first I didn’t know what was going on until I came up to him and saw how he couldn’t stand up straight and when trying to walk normally, he would end up rolling over and laying down (which is something he’s never done before). My cat is blind and has arthritis, I feel like I should’ve done better for him, and it’s to a point now where I feel like he’s in such pain and misery but I can’t really even tell. I just turned 18 myself and I can’t even afford paying the vet bills for him nor do I have any insurance to help cover the bills too. I don’t know what I can do and his arthritis has never gotten to this point before. I think the best option may be to put him down but I really have no clue if this would be the right choice to make. Since he is already at such an old age, i think even with medication for him, he still can pass unexpectedly soon. I wouldn’t want to keep him longer if he already isn’t able to do much anymore, it seems selfish. If there is possibly anyway where I can actually help him I want to take that chance but I’m more so heavily leaning into putting him down. Please help me and give advice on what I should do. Thank you
Edit: I had went to the vet and they said there was treatment available but the chance of him getting better was extremely low. Unfortunately I did have to put him down. Thank you guys for your help, I did get a nose and paw print as a memory of him.❤️🐾
