Grandpa Gregory-U/D 23rd April

Grandpa is still with us. Bless him, he has obviously had some sort of CVA as for about 4 hours last night he lost use of his back end and became very ataxic :cry: His hind leg mobility has improved and he is less shakey but Grandpa has gone blind :cry:
His abdomen feels better and the distended mass is smaller so it may be faeces and gas. He has passed some diarrhoea and certainly seems to 'feel better' for it!! I have kept him hydrated with sub-cut fluids and he has had pain relief and metoclop'. He took a small amount of syringe feed too. Then at about 4am he started to nibble some gratted veg. I am pretty certain he has molar spurs as not only is he finding chewing difficult but I was able to feel sharp spikes on his molars with my little finger.

We will see the Vet this morning but I really dont know if we can hope for a good outcome :cry: I suspect Grandpa is in renal failure, he MIGHT have something nasty going on in his guts he has had some sort of CVA and he also has molar spurs :cry: :cry:

Please send peaceful vibes for Grandpa Gregory. I will do all I can to keep him comfortable.

I wish Christobel were here.......... :cry:
