All the vets here refer to the emergency animal hospital when they are closed. So, if the hospital doesn't answer, it can be tough going. Usually our vet picks up his private line because he only gives it out to his oldest or multi clients but he is out of town. If I hadn't reached Debbie, I was going to drive to Wisconsin Dells where the vet is that rescued Tink.
My friend Debbie is a vet and is here now. Indy is sleeping (kind of) right now, but still crying. She gave him some liquid morphine to calm him. She examined him after he was calm and said she thinks it is time to let him go. She doesn't believe the pain can be controlled well enough for him to have any kind of life without morphine. So, I'm trying to make that decision right now.
Tink has lain beside Indy all day which is a miracle. She hasn't jumped on him once or tried to bite his ears or bothered him at all except to give him kisses when he cries. The only time she has moved is to go potty. That is amazing for a 15 wk old baby! Now that Deb is here, she has gotten up and gone to her crate and is laying with her nose sticking out the door. She did not like the smell of the alcohol. Darling baby.
I'm going now to spend some time with Indy and talk to Deb some more and then say goodbye to my precious boy. I guess God thinks I've had him long enough and wants him back. Wish he didnt have to suffer so much though.
I'll post tomorrow. Thank you for the thoughts. |
