Dear Mike, I'm very sorry to hear that your Sprout is not doing well. I've been following your posts concerning his medical condition which seems to be deteriorating. My one piece of advice is to let the poor thing go. The rainbow bridge awaits and as it says in Revelation, "every tear will be wiped away." IMHO the poor thing has suffered long enough and you've reached the point where it is sometimes a cruelty to put our furballs through any more just to postpone the time when we say good-bye.
