Oreo passed away yesterday, July 14, 2011, and I am deeply saddened.
I noticed he wasn't looking so good on the 13th and I rushed him to the vet. He had some dried up diarrhea on his bum and his hind right leg was very weak so he was wobbling. He was such a fighter. Even though he was sick, he still wanted to keep moving, he kept trying to run and play, not realizing that he needed to just relax. The vet didn't think it was that bad... she prescribed steroids for his leg and told me to keep an eye on him, especially the diarrhea and to bring him back when need be. Well, I decided to stay the night with my best friend that night (now I feel guilty and regret leaving him) and when I came home yesterday evening, he had passed.
I hope he wasn't in any pain and now I know he's no longer suffering. I did have him for just over 2 years so it was his time I suppose.
I love you, Oreo. ♥
