He doesn't take his meds any more because he started hiding from me and seemed miserable. He refused to take his vitamins too as his appetite seems nearly gone except for beggin strips, happy hips and steak. He was on Tramadol, Gabapentin, Rimadyl. Still on Neomycin for his eye.
I am in constant contact with the vet. We have been talking about putting Teddy to sleep and I keep calling it off. Its not one outwardly obvious thing but its likely one of his conditions is causing him pain. They cant say for sure and neither can I.
His body is covered in small masses. We did biopsies a short time ago and determined none of them are cancerous.
He is such a fighter though. I'm not sure he wants to give up. He is so cooperative at letting me guide him around. We made an appointment to put Teddy to rest tomorrow but I'm not sure I can go through with it.
Sometimes I look at his face and it seems he is ready. He doesn't seem joyful like he did even just two weeks ago. I can tell his eye is irritating.
But he still follows me around. Yesterday he motion for me to help him up on the couch and then motioned me to help him lay on his side. He is still able to amaze me.
