Well, this morning I woke up to find him self acting a little bite more like the old Gus. He even decided to eat, I called the vet and she said not to bring him out inless he is in pain and suffering. I felt all over his belly this morning and he did not even flinch. I hope this flushing of his system and all the kind words and replies and prayers are helping.

Although I know the end is near there is nothing else I can do but to keep him comfortable and enjoy this time with him.

Thanks.

Mike

How is he doing ?

I had to have my old cat Moose put down about 8 years ago and it still brings tears to my eyes. Same for my cockatiel Merlin, who was 14 years old and had cancer, 4 years ago. It's amazing how important animals can be in our lives. If you end up putting Gus down, you have no reason whatsoever to be ashamed of the tears you will shed - I cried like a baby over both animals. Just like children, you have to enjoy the time you get to spend with them, because it's all over so quickly. Best wishes for things to turn out right with Gus.

G-R-D So far so good, Yesterday was the last day I had to hook him up to an I V of Ringers Lactate to flush out his system. I pushed about 800 ml through his body and it has seemed to work because he starting to be a little more active. The vet and my family and my self cant believe the come back he has made. I guess he was not ready to give up yet, I can't believe the heart and will power he has. No one can imagine how thrilled I am at his recovery. I know it may not be long so everyday he is with me is just that more cherished.

Thanks for asking.

Hey guy just wanted to say that all the words I read in this post, Made my decision today a little easier. I had to put my best friend to sleep today, he would have been 9 on friday. He loved to ride in the truck with me or just lounge around the garage when we were tinkering with the race cars. I Know I will miss him dearly, but I know it was the right thing to do .



Rest in Peace Buddy

Sorry to hear that Mike. At least you know he is in good hands now. You can rest easy knowing you did all you could for him and gave him a good life here. My time is coming soon, with my 14yo "shadow" and I hate it.
