He's been lethargic lately, and off his feed, but then he had reasons for it....record heat wave here, change in his meds, etc.
Yesterday I called the vet and made an appointment though. His right "elbow" made him cry when I gently squeezed it. This morning, just before the vet appt., his right rear leg was collapsing on him. (His butt would slowly start to edge toward the floor.) On his walk he was exhausted and couldn't go far at all.
He's got a fever of 104 and is depressed (physically) and etc etc. He's in the hospital, on fluids. I went by there and helped 'em out by taking him for a small walkie to relieve his kidneys of all that fluid. He seemed a tiny bit better than he'd been this morning. They've run blood tests and tick-borne-diseases titers......we'll know more tomorrow.
He's an old guy. We're plenty worried. If you have room in your prayers, we'd so appreciate a word or two said for him. He's still so sweet, despite feeling so sick! Always has a smile. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce
