My beautiful Conti Bentley was admitted first thing this morning.
He has arthritis in his hips, but over the past few days he has also started to wet his back end. His mobility is progressively getting worse, but the deterioration seems to be getting quicker. We were at the vets with him again last night and he was booked in for xrays of his spine hips and bladder, blood and urine tests on Monday. His mobility wasn't particularly good last night, but overnight he has got drastically worse. This morning he can't stand up, he is lying on his side and dragging himself across the floor using his front legs and kicking his back legs. It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch. He is eating, pooing and weeing, but he cannot stand up.
Bentley is having all his xrays and tests today. Based on his current state, the prognosis is not good and I have to prepare myself for a difficult decision. I am so scared. Anyone who remembers his story will know what a brave and special lad he is. I am scared for Minnie too, Bentley and Minnie are devoted to each other. Minnie will not do well without Bentley. I can't bear the thought of losing my special boy.
