Thanks everyone. I know that the news about Storm was a shock for you and it was also a shock for me too. He was doing very well healthwise back in April and since then I had noticed that he was starting to slow down. He would eat a little and then he's want to be put back in my bedroom where he'd sleep all day. Some times when I'd get him up to eat I noticed that his back legs would be a little bit stiff but he could still get around. He was a little wobbly a few times but then this went away. It was just this past weekend that I noticed that his back legs were becoming much worse and he was also becoming much thinner.It's like he's aged 10 years within the last 4 months.
I had to help him use the litter box this morning because he's still very unstable. He looks worn out and tired and has this vacant blank stare about him. He's become a shell of what he used to be.
When I picked him up to take him out to the kitchen to eat and then again to put him back in my room, he cried out like he was in pain.
I'm going to continue to monitor him but I may need to have him put to sleep sooner than I originally planned.
I was able to take Fri. and next Mon. & Tues. off. I hate watching any animal suffer especially one of my own.
I know he's ready to go so I know I'm making the right decision. Please keep Storm in your thoughts and prayers.
