To say I am exhausted right now - would be a major understatement. I did get some sleep....in bits and pieces.
Then again - it was so nice to be able to check on Tiny every time I woke up....I don't think he was ever further than 2 feet away from me - and now that I'm up - he's chewing on a towel and trying to throw it around. (Its the towel Robin used to cover him up with). Ooh - and he's giving me the butt now.
His pee is almost like sludge....very very thick and concentrated and STINKY. I get to learn that from being on the floor and having him get off the bed (thanks sweetie) to pee beside it - and then get back on the bed with me.
I'm researching vets now - I think I know who I want him to go to. I wish our vet that is 70 miles away was open on Saturdays but they're not......I wish he could wait and see them on Monday (I've got a call in to Randy about this - I suspect seeing a vet today is his best option - I just want to make sure that it is worth the stress of the 3.5 hour trip vs. a 1.5 hour trip on Monday if he continues to get treatment here at home).
I will post right before we leave (if I remember) and I have the phone number for Rosie (maherwoman) and can call her from the vets once we're in the city and he's been seen.
Continue sending good thoughts. To be honest with you - considering the amount of pain he was in last night - I really REALLY thought it was his heart because of his breathing and how his heart was racing....... I wanted to think positive but with all of our losses - I couldn't.
Y'all gave me the strength to think positive....and I think y'all gave the strength to Tiny. He just peed on the bed (while staring at me) - so I suspect he's mad at me for not staying on the floor with him.
Now to prepare him for his trip.....if you see the pictures I posted up above you'll see I have a huge feed bucket that is used for horses. We're going to clean that out (we had some sickies in it ) and put a nice layer of hay in there and take him in that....and then have a carrier for when we actually take him into the vet. The bucket is like 2.5 times his size easily and he can have like a little bed in there and we can monitor him.
