Well, right now, things are looking TOO good for Dom...he's a real fighter though, I will say that. I'm so proud of my boy!
Ok, Domino has steadily gotten worse over the last few weeks, and finally, I just could not bear to see him suffer any longer! I've had two other guinea pigs, and they went through long suffering, so I thought that putting Domino down would be the best option...however...
After I reluctantly decided that Dom probably wouldn't make it much longer, I tearfully asked Mom if she would take Domino and let him rest in peace. (this was Wednesday) So she took him in to the vet's and left him there...BUT, the vet (Dr. Scott, he's awesome!) did not put him down! He saw and realized Domino still has spunk for being so sick, but even he himself said Dom didn't have much of a chance. However, he checked him out (and is doing this out of the kindness of his heart, bless him!) and figured that Domino has a bacterial infection that he has had for a while now. (and there's a long name for it, I can't remember what it is...) SO, Domino is still at the vet's, and they're going to see if there's anything they can do for him; if there is no alternative, then he will be put to rest. What an awesome vet Dr. Scott is to do such a kind deed, and care about us and animals so much! I mean, he's not going to even charge us anything!
So cross your fingers and paws that Dom might be able to pull through this, since there is still a slight chance. I'm not getting my hopes up though, since he very likely may still pass on within the next couple of days. (this is very difficult for me, and I'm getting choked up) Thank you all so very much for your prayers and thoughts, they mean so much!
I will update you all on the latest news ASAP!

I really hope he pulls through.
I was happy to hear that...he's also on antibiotics (sp?) so it looks like he might be on the mend! I'm still not 100% sure he's going to pull through, but I'll tell you...he's one fighter like I said before!
