I had to take Snoopy into the vets last night. The fluid is starting to build up again around his stomach. And he is eating less again which only makes sense with that big bulge of fluid pushing on his stomach. Since it doesn't seem to be affecting his breathing and because it would just build back up again quickly, Dr. James decided not to drain it. She and I talked some more about "when" and she said she thinks Snoopy is uncomfortable right now but not in pain and there was still a few things we could do to help his liver heal and give him more time - but she also said that anytime we decided financially, emotionally, physically we felt we couldn't handle it, they wouldn't say no to our letting him go. And obviously when we thought Snoopy had had enough.

Anyway she prescribed a new medicine which is basically a diuretic. They were holding off because he already drinks a lot of water and pees a lot. This will probably increase that but it could really give the liver more of a chance to heal. Keep those prayers acoming!

My heart is breaking for you. I am so saddend to see you/your family and Snoopy go through this. I know your hearts must be torn apart right now. But I will pray that when it is time for you to let Snoopy go God will give you the strength to do the right thing. Just remember you will see him again some day and he will be healthy and happy waiting to shower your with love. Sending healing prayers to Snoopy and you. Please give that lovely spotted boy some giant hugs and kisses from me, ((hugs)) to you and your family too.

(((Hugs))) to you and Snoopy and the whole family. This is the worst part of loving an animal. I hope the diuretics will help some and that the vet continues to feel that he is not suffering any pain.
