Thanks for asking, shadow. I'm so very sad to say that he passed away. As the weather got colder, his condition worsened and it turns out that he had bony growths on the vertebrae in his neck which caused nerve damage in his front legs. Eventually he couldn't walk and the drugs weren't controlling his pain so we made the only choice we could. He was my happy, happy boy until the last few weeks. Five weeks later my darling old girl, Gemma, developed liver and kidney failure and we were on that awful trip to the vet again. She was nearly 17 and it was sudden. Six weeks earlier she's had a clean bill of health from the vet. She and Pedro were very close, too, and loved a gentle, geriatric play. I'm not coping very well, I'm afraid.
I'm so sorry *big hugs* xo
