NBR but could use some healing thoughts

UnwritteN12

Sunday night I was making the kids lunches and went to give the dogs a piece of salami since I had it out. Snickers didn't even hesitate but Tobi just sniffed it and walked away. Cue my anxiety. Tobi does NOT turn down food. So I tell DH he needs to call in the morning to make a vet appointment.  

So DH takes Tobi in for his appointment yesterday. He called me when Tobi's bloodwork came back and the vet came in to the room so I could hear everything the vet had to say (if it's left up to him to relay what anyone says, there's always a fight because he didn't ask the right questions, trust me).
Outwardly, hes fine she says. But, to start with, he has some sort of infection. His blood work also indicates he has kidney disease, liver disease and, very likely, cancer. 

I know what's done is done but I wish we had noticed something was wrong earlier. Maybe we could have at least caught the infection, kidney or liver issues. At this point though, we're trying to treat the infection to see if he'll at least start to eat and drink. He got IV fluids last night plus an anti-nausia medication. We tried to give him the antibiotic at home and couldn't get him to eat or drink anything in order to take it. DH took him back today for more fluids and to get the antibiotics via IV as well.

The vet just called a bit ago for DH to come pick Tobi up. The vet says he wouldn't eat or drink there either and just overall doesn't seem to be doing any better even with the fluids. She told DH to give Tobi a day or 2 and, if nothing changes, we need to make some decisions. 

The likelihood that we'll have to let Tobi go is very high right now. But I'm really trying to hold out hope while giving him a bunch of extra snuggles. DH is distraught. TBH, I'm still in denial. Any good thoughts sent would be greatly appreciated. Tobi was our first fur baby and he's a very loved part of our family.

@UnwritteN12 I'm so sorry to hear about your pup It's so tough seeing a pet go through an illness, and sometimes they aren't able to tell us when they're feel ill. I know it's hard, but try not to blame yourselves for not noticing earlier, sometimes pets can function fine until they just don't, and perhaps the infection is what triggered some heavier symptoms. I hope and pray that he gets better with treatment.

I'm so sorry to hear about this!! Hearing a pet is ill with no ability to help is the worst. I hope he can find the strength to fight this. ❤️❤️

I am so sorry that you are going through this! I hope Tobi gets better with treatment and is able to spend a little more time being your snuggle bug.

@UnwritteN12 sending healing vibes for Tobi. It is so tough to watch a pet suffer. Hopefully this is all just a result of the infection and he will bounce back.

Oh no @UnwritteN12 I'm so sorry to hear about Tobi! Making these decisions about pets is so difficult, and especially at such a fragile time for all of you. Sending healing thoughts his way, but if he isn't going to get better, please don't blame yourself for anything! I'm sure he knows just how much his humans love him, and sometimes there's just nothing we can do to see these things in advance. I'm sorry

I'm so sorry Pets are so difficult to read sometimes, you did something as soon as you noticed he wasn't himself. That's all you could do. Hoping for the best for sweet Tobi.

Today is one of those days where adulting really stinks. Today DH and I made the decision to let Tobi go. It was obvious to us that he was ready. We greatly appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. You ladies really are wonderful and so supportive. 

RIP Tobi Keith

So sorry you had to make that tough decision @UnwritteN12 it's not easy, but if it was the right decision then you did the best you could for him. Better than seeing him suffer. I loved tit just to show support and because of cuteness. *hugs* to you at this difficult time
