I recieved this PM from kingrattus, and Max needs your prayers you guys.:(
Sorry I haven't replyed to ur last PM, but I know u'll understand once I tell u this.
Max might have intestinal cancer.
Hes bleeding (it may have stopped today not sure yet). Max had an accident in the house & mom was cleaning it up & found blood in it. She calle dthe vet & rushed Max & his doo doo right away. The vet said it could be a bacteral infection, but there normally isn't that much blood, so she ran a test & no bacteria was found. Max will have to get an X-ray to findout if its cancer or not.
The vet put Max on a special diet of cooked hamburger & rice twice a day. The vet said he needs the hamburger to put on fat, cause hes lost 5 pounds already, which is bad. & he nees the rice to help fill him & its easy to pass & will also help clean him out.
I talked to my Pharmacist friend & he said I should get Max on childrens chewables "Flintstones" (u know the cartoon right?), he said t a day should be good for him.
I just got off the phone with mom & she said shes noticing a huge change in Max. Hes sleeping alot (which is good) & she said hes loving his new food. Shes taking him to mini walks ( a block or 2) & she took him for a little car ride.
She said he having tiny doo doos, but I said thats cause hes digesting all the meat so theres not much left when its time to make doo doo. But he was accident free today & his doo doo today wasn't 100% normal, but she said she didn't see any blood in it & it was a watery, which a huge emprovement. My sis is seeing him during the day & letting him go potty outside.
I feel soooo horrible, I cried at work for an hr & then cried all the way to moms place (40 mins), I cried when I saw Max & I cry randomly throughout the day or when anyone mentions his name. I sooo wish I could be with him, since its a good chance this'll be his last week.
