| Paolo's kidney failure went from chronic to acute in the space of a couple of days. He got a kidney infection which sent him to the hospital for 5 days for IV antibiotics and round the clock fluids in the hopes that it would turn things around. It didn't work. He got to come home and had a couple of rough days but then he seemed to rally. The weather was warm and beautiful and David took him for walks in the woods. We had taken him off all meds & he was allowed to eat anything he wanted. I'm glad for those days, but on Friday the 14th he got really sick. It was heart breaking but we could not allow that to continue. He is now reunited with his beloved sister, Lilith, and is chasing down bunnies. No more pain & misery. Hold all your babies especially tight and treasure every minute. It seems like such a short while ago we were oohing & aahing over the cute tiny split face puppy and now he's gone. Far too soon. ~~ Jennifer Gough |
