She's coming down from school this weekend.
I hope for 3 things: she gets to see him again, he doesn't pass on Christmas, and he doesn't suffer.
This is gonna be tough on the little guy. I don't think I'll ever have another dog.

With all the sad news lately, I thought I'd share some (guarded) good news.
Heel-n-toe sent a PM asking how lucky was doing, this is what I shared:
Quote:
I talked to another vet who disagreed with the diagnosis.
He set us up with a custom diet and Lucky has put on a pound and a half since Christmas.
His appetite is back and he keeps the food down better now.
He looks better and has more energy and when I pet him now I don't feel every bone in his spine and ribs. He was really looking bad.
Before we were feeding him grocery store kibble (purina or similar) and can of alpo every day and we'd give him a couple of those bacon flavored treats every morning. Anything we could do to keep weight on him.
the vet said that stuff was all junk and was possibly poison. Especially those bacon flavored treats. He said they're made in China and are horrible for a dog.
The food we're giving him now is expensive but that doesn't matter, we already have a fortune invested in him :-)
So bottom line is we have our fingers crossed and it "looks" like he's getting better.
