what truly hurts is over the past 3 months he started getting smaller and I thought it was just the ID lowfat diet. 3 weks ago I took him in and his kidney function values were awful and he got fluids. 3 more tests over the weeks showed no improvement and they taught me how to give him fluids under his skin 3 times a day.
last Thursday he stayed in his crate and I got him up and his gait was very wobbly like something neurological. at the vet he ran into walls walking and the vet said he was blind. I wanted them to give him iv fluids and they agreed until he started throwing up blood with a high BP and the vet said he was having a stroke possibly but needed to be put down
I cry all the time cause I didn't do anything as he kept getting smaller and I cry cause his last day on earth was hell. I live alone and he was my best pal in the world. I nursed him through so many things and our bond grew. I just cant get it out of my mine seeing him blind and wondering if another bag of fluids would help
I loved my deseased dad dearly but this hurts more. I don't know how I will be able to pick up his ashes
