More info from Dr. Baker

However, our greater concerns were the following: 1) That Mike would refuse to enter the night house making medical assessments and additional treatments extraordinarily difficult; 2) He began exhibiting new clinical signs of complications, indicating that the tumor was causing additional damage to his sinus cavity. We could not allow that to go on because it would eventually lead to his suffering. According to our pathologists, both of these concerns appear to have been well-founded. It was discovered that the cancer had spread to almost every organ in Mike’s body, such that it was unlikely that he would have lived more than a few more days. Dr. Baker ltr.

It's crazy how fast the big guy went downhill. He was a fighter in the true sense of the word. Cancer in every crevice of his body and was still happy and chuffing in his final moments.
Love ya Mike VI.

No. I work in hospice and I know how shitty cancer and cancer treatment makes a person feel.
Once it was known that the cancer was incurable the cat's comfort should have become priority #1.

I'm sure he would have been more comfortable laying in his night house 24 hrs/day than being able to stroll around his habitat and pick his spot to spend his time. Get out of here with your bs.

Dude, what do you really think hospice for an animal is? For people, you keep pain free and wait for them to die. Hospice was really just a term to help us cope and to take him out of his outdoor habitat and euthanize. Who would keep a 400 pound tiger alive on morphine and to what end. It isn't as if Mike could tell anyone his cancer was spreading. He had symptoms for the vets to act on. Can't imagine six weeks of hospice.
