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!
