A little over three weeks after DX of intestinal lymphoma.
He had a hard time recovering from the ultra sound and stopped eating for days until I had to syringe feed him. Out of the blue he was his old self, eating and all the P’s, which only lasted one week. He threw up a huge hairball one morning and that was it…..no more food and in a lot of pain. Just in a matter of hours he was dehydrated and despite our best efforts I had to take him to the vet for IV fluids. Two days on fluids he seemed better and even ate a little. On the day he was to come home Dr said he was concerned that he hadn’t urinated that AM. Blood test confirmed his kidneys were shutting down and you could see that fluid was collecting in his chest.
He passed in my arms wet with tears.
Fly free my sweet gentle guy….16 years was just not long enough. Give my love to Drooler Dusty and brother Ce Ce.
