his heart rate was very erratic, on top of everything else and the fact that there's no way my parents could afford the bills that would follow x-rays and treatment, they put him to sleep.
he would have been 12 on 16th April








***********
he's got bad in the last week or so... I don't live here anymore so I don't get to see how he's deteriorated. probably for the best, I don't know.
he keeps coughing up, really noisily like he's going to vomit but nothing comes up. it's unsettling, not just for us but he obviously gets distressed by this. his breathing has got really laboured in the last week, I just sat with him 5 minutes ago and he's breathing so fast, and heavily with a slight wheezing sound, almost constantly it seems.
he's already been diagnosed with some kind of chest/lung ailment. his back legs get so bad now that he can no longer be walked, he has to stay at home. He used to be so happy to see you he'd greet you excitedly even if you'd only been out to the shop for 5 minutes... now he won't even get up out of his bed at all. some days he doesn't even bother to lift his head.
no-one's sure what to do with him. The vet is a good 40 mins walk from here which he can't manage, he won't get into the car because he can't lift himself off the ground with his legs, and no-one can pick him up as he's too heavy (my dad has a bad back too)... They're thinking of calling a vet out, it's so expensive and god knows what they'll do with him when they get here anyway. I think the best thing will be to have him put to sleep, rather than dragging out whatever it is, he's just not happy anymore.
so I'm bracing myself really, it's just a matter of time.
