just spoke to my vet on the phone, described Dubbs behaviour and the fact he has gone off his food and the size of Dubbs's poos and the vet wants to treat my boy for stasis before any decision is made about putting him to sleep...
So am going in to get some fluids put into Dubbs and to get yet another medicine to administer. The vet has now told me to take Dubbs off the Vetergesic as this can slow the gut down. If it is stasis and Dubbs gets back to how he was a week ago thats great but if its not, then this really is last chance saloon.
This emotional rollercoaster I am riding is the worst ride ever! I had made the decision last night to say goodbye to him today if he hadn't eaten over night, which he hadn't.
Atleast if he doesn't react to the stasis treatment i will know for sure that it is time...
