We will have to put him down very soon. I want to thank all of you again for your wonderful support. Thanking you for the prayers as well and please pray that Tucker has a peaceful passing.

Blessings.

This breaks my heart.....anytime you get such a grim prognosis for your baby, please, seek a second opinion, prewferably from a School of Vet medicine. They are on the cutting edge of technology and up to the minute on any and all available treatments and options for whatever you may be facing. Please, find the nearest vet school to you and see what they can do to guide you thru this with your little Tucker....there is diet management,etc.....poor little baby....I feel so bad for you and your baby.....

Happy Birthday Tucker, so glad you sought out a second opinion. I wish I would have done that once before. Good lessonfor all of us that take the word of the first vet they see. I am so glad you still have your little boy and I hope you all had a BIG celebration.
