5pm vet phoned and his sugars had crashed and he was distressed.

Vet thought it was likely to be something fairly major like a pancreatic tumour which would account for wildly swinging blood sugars and low potassium.

We went in at 6 to say our goodbyes.

Strangely, haven't cried, not yet upset - he was so out of it anyway I feel we lost him days ago.

RIP my lad, I can see you're spraying for England already at the bridge - we may all need umbrellas for a long time to come.

vets phoned.
liver readings ok, blood pressure slightly high, potassium levels very low and sugars quite high.

They asked about if he had eaten today and we said we didn't think so but of course biscuit down all time but he's not likely to have eaten the state he is in.

more drips and bloods later. one for a different blood test.
and his eyes are bad...... (I've been saying that for years!).

Well he is at the vet now. They will blood test again, try blood pressure, Have him on drip today to flush out any toxins and we have booked a pick up at 18:10.
He was behind the back of a chair this morning. Oh and he has very little vision at the moment.

They said his livers were also slightly elevated last time so it might be that. He hasn't eaten since yesterday morning and then only a little.

not really that hopeful but he has to be given the chance.
