My sweet baby boy passed away during recovery today. The vet said he had a huge mass behind his bladder and a fluid filled sack which had started preventing the urine to pass into his left kidney. Or something- I can't really think right now. Loss of his kidney was inevitable. She wanted to take a sample of the mass to see what we were dealing with (lymphoma or carcinoma) and then go from there. I gave her the okay to do that. After she took him off the gas, Rascal went into arrest. She tried reviving him for 30 minutes, but it didn't work. I wish I could stop crying. Sandee, please look out for my little boy. All he ever wanted to do was play, bite toes and chase and bat around toy balls. I miss him so much and just wish I could have made him better. Tara [Posted in FML issue 4712]
