Thank you for all your kind words, I don't know what I would do without you all, I am a complete mess.
despite only being here a few short weeks Marion was a real favourite of ours and had found a very special place in my heart. In the last couple of weeks she seemed so content like she knew her life had taken a turn for the better. Which is why it is so heartbreaking that this has happened today
We were already really concerned about Marion's overall conditon, despite her dental, extra meals and metacam the weight was dropping off her and she wasn't moving around much, plus her incontinence had returned
However she seemed really happy in herself. This morning I said to Steve I thought she actually looked visably thinner that she did last night, but she was bright and tucking into her food. We were in the process of deciding whether to take her in for more tests ( she had already had basic bloods done, all normal ) or leave her be and let her enjoy her remaining time. But we both agreed that she probably only had weeks ahead of her.
Saying all that it was a real shock to find her in such a state this afternoon, I just grabbed her, grabbed the phone, shouted that I was coming up and needed a vet now and ran down the road. I didn't even lock the doors or grab a bag. But I did have to go back as I realised I had no shoes on
When i got there, the nurse asked me to take a seat but I refused and caused a right fuss until the vet came out. I begged them to try to treat her but they took one look and said pts. I guess they were right but I so wanted to give her another chance
