Still trucking. He was sedated today so the doctors could examine his mouth and throat. Unfortunately, they located a significant unidentified mass on his left tonsil. He is going in tomorrow to a ENT/dental specialist that will fully sedate him, examine more thoroughly, and perform surgery if needed. Our general vet believes it may be a tumor, which is causing him pain and preventing him from eating.

He's incredibly weak right now and I hope his body can handle going under. He's not really eating, other than slivers of apple. And he has a catheter in his leg from this morning, which they intend to use tomorrow, but which is really bothering him.

All I can do is put my trust in the vets that are handling him. I hope they know what they're doing.
