I can't write this out again so I have lifted it from dp, hope you understand.
Jasper went to the vets today for an operation. A couple of weeks ago he was put on anti-biotics for a mouth infection. We had noticed the one side of his face change shape, as if he had had a stroke, so we got him in the vets pronto. The vet saw that the back of his mouth was inflamed and two teeth rotten. The vet thought that the muscle atrophy was due to infection in his mouth as he thought he wasn't chewing on that side.
We booked him in to have them taken out but he needed to have the antibiotics for a week first,then review, then op.
We took him in today at 9am.
At 11 am I got a horrid call, that something was wrong.
The vet has found a massive tumour in his throat
The vet said it's position made it inoperable, that it was aggressive and extremely fast growing. He explained to me that it is slowly blocking his windpipe.
The vet asked if we wanted to pts.
I never ever ever thought this morning as I woke him up that I would be hearing my vet ask me that.
I asked the vet to not remove the teeth, the vet agreed. I asked him to bring him round.
The vet let us go straight up whilst he was in recovery. We sat with him for an hour and brought our little baby home.
The vet thinks we have a month left with him at the most before he suffers, then we have to have him put to sleep.
I can't comprehend that I am writing this. I have read post after post of people losing their babies and never thought I would lose mine for a good many years. And just didn't know how I would cope.
I cannot comprehend it. I don't understand it.
I don't know what to do.
We have arranged for the vet to come to us at home when we need to help him on his way.
This isn't my Boo that I am talking about is it? It doesn't feel real..........
It's not fair. My heart is broken, I cannot imagine being without him.
He is only six years old, we have had him two years. We adore him so,so,so,so much.
He is tucked up in my bed,snoring his little head off and dreaming of sheep.
This is him a few weeks ago
