Well the time has come for my bad news... I have been on this list for 4 years now and you all have helped me through all my problems with Woobie over the years. He has been diagnosed with Liver and Spleen Cancer and my vet said that he doesn't have much time left. All I can do is make him as comfortable as possible and let him go when he shows signs of suffering. He took a bad turn 2 weeks ago. Stopped Eating, Pooping diarrhea, became very dehydrated and was grinding his teeth. I was force feeding him and injecting him with liquids, giving Pepto, Pepcid or Mylanta (Whichever he wasn't throwing up on that given day) and antibiotics. When I brought him back to the vet 8 days later, he was worse. He did an ultra sound and saw all the cancer that spread out through his body and that's when He suggested I put him to sleep. I know Woobie is not in pain (at least I Hope I know that he's not) so I asked for some heavy duty Stomach Medication to ease his nausea. They gave me Carafate. This Stuff Is Working WONDERS! He is eating and drinking and is playing. The vet said that the stomach symptoms are because of the Liver Cancer, but it makes him happy and he is living his usual Piggy Boy Life right now. It may be just buying some time, but I'm not ready to let him go. As long as he has Quality along with his Quantity of Life, that what matters most to me. He may not have much time left, but he's spoiled rotten and will be Even more until the end. He knows he's loved and that Mommy and Daddy will be heartbroken when he leaves us. Please pray for my baby. I know he doesn't have much time, but what time he has left, Will hopefully be the best he's ever had!
