We all certainly hope you can hang in there sweet boy. It's been wonderful watching your story, and we'd all love for you to still have a bunch of wonderful time left to pester Shelagh. :nod:
 
OH, I'm so sorry. :sad3: It's a terrible decision to have to make, but I know you'll make the right one for Cecil. And, as someone mentioned - "he's going out a happy old man". You've brought him so far and given your heart and soul to him. He is very lucky to have been loved so much. :hugs:
 
It's not the amount of time lived that matters the most, it's the quality.
Shelagh you have given sweet Cecil the best weeks of his life. :cuddle:
Sometimes we keep our animals lingering way past their time more for us than them.
It's a hard decision to make but I know you will choose the right one.
Kisses for Cecil and many hugs for you.
 
When he is well, he is really well and I do think he's making a play at being a "bed rat". He doesn't like to share me though and gets very upset with other rats... :p

I think I am going to try just one more thing, and up his dose a little (he was at .8 mg/kg) and split the dose morning and night and see if it stops his big crashes.

This is him right now now...

I hope he pulls through for a while longer, he looks so happy to be with you! What a lucky guy.
Both of you are in my thoughts daily, sending imaginary nuzzles his way :)
 
Last night was very good, I caught him eating lab blocks for the first time in awhile.

The overnight went well...I kept waking up to Cecil sleeping ON me (this is new) so it was easy to put my hand over his body and quickly judge how relaxed his breathing was. He just got his morning dose of dex, and enalapril and baytril.

He looks great...so far so good!!

I told him he was a brave brave boy while giving him kisses, so he kissed me back.

OMG, that last picture just brought warmth back to my broken heart. :heart: What a sweet, happy boy! I agree with Sharlee - I think Cecil is in love with you! :D

I am so relieved he's better now. I really hope this time he will remain in the right track! :praying:
