When I got home this morning, I was taking him up the driveway to get the paper. He usually gets really excited about it. The first thing that alarned me was he took a potty right on the driveway.Then on the way back, just layed down. I stood in the driveway and sobbed. I don't want to say goodbye. I just got back from the vet. He's 80-90% sure that Duke has lung cancer. A biopsy would take at least 4 days and the vet was concerned about quality of life, as am I. I am going to spend the weekend with him and see if I can get him to eat chicken. Unless a miracle occurs, I'm having the vet come to my house on Monday afternoon to put him to sleep. My heart is breaking and my world is shattered.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby I know the story. maybe a vet visit could help here? I am at a loss for words here... I see you already did the biopsy- it does take time.
Make a list- what he wants to do and likes it- you will know its time as the list stops..
Now=- sometimes they have off days. I have one that has worried me several times, but I can see his eyes, he is here, but just wants a day off... Next day- he is back.
I am here.. I am sorry but maybe it was just a bad day... They have those you know, just like we do! Meanwhile both of you are in my prayers !
