Thymoma / UD At the Bridge now

Last night Emrys wobbled and fell over. He righted himself a few times and managed to walk but not jump. When he walked there was a wobble and he was listing to one side. We think it was a stroke. Then This morning I noticed he was breathing through his mouth. They were small gentle breaths but I took him to the vet immediately who confirmed my suspicions and sadly Emrys had to be put to sleep. I fell certain this would not have happened if he had not been suffering from the thymoma. But at least we know what it was and why he had to die and the main thing was that he was put to sleep before things got worse. Thanks for all the help, if it wasn't for RU I would not have known untilt he x ray what Emery was suffering from. At least we were able to get his eyes back to normal and give him a friend and some extra love and attention before he went.
 
Oh no I'm so very sorry to hear this update :( I'm glad you had a diagnosis and were able to make his final time more comfortable, and hopefully it will also reassure you that you did the right thing today. Rest in peace beautiful boy, and big hugs to you x x x
 
:cry: I am so very sorry. He was very lucky to have you to take care of him and to have a little bit extra love from a furry friend towards the end.
