Fast forward to yesterday when I returned from work and my husband tells me that he seems a bit 'mopey and quiet' ...sure enough, he wasn't his usual self and turned his nose up at any sort of food at all, even the malt sachets which he goes crazy for he just turned away.....
Thixs morning, thankfully I have a day off work, he was much worse, terribly lethargic and his breathing very erratic and fast, he just lay on his side breathing heavily, then occasionally trying to pass water or motion, then giving up to just collapse on his side again..

Emergency trip to the vet and she has told us that indeed he is very ill, she has admitted him for blood tests and possible further x rays if the bloods show up a kidney problem...I am awaiting a phone call as to his fate and it's tearing me apart, as I type this I am in tears, he looked so terrified when I left and I can't help thinking that the diagnosis will be bad,,,it's just a feeling I have and it's breaking my heart.....I would welcome any support or input from you wonderful people on here who have helped me so much in the past......................x
