Ack. For those who don't know, he has dysautonomia, which, for him, presents with him having episodes where his gut shuts down and it's obviously exceptionally painful.
We're here again. He's been deteriorating and he a 2-3 week long reoccurent episode in May/June, and he's had a good time and been well (despite a heavy increase in meds) and now he's gone down again, and this is the worst one ever. you can barely see his breathing and he wet himself on me (so unlike him, he's never done this before).
Last time, the vet and I spoke and we are aware that he will reach a point where his guts just won't function, even with all the gut stimulants and fluids and suchlike.
I can't help but wonder whether, with the dramatic turn of this one, if this is that time. I feel like it's fair to try like we normally do, unless he evidently can't cope, but I'm not sure.
I do this every time and he always comes back, but this is different. I can feel it.
I don't even know what I need. I just, I dunno. Needed to share?
