I know it’s a late post. Our intrepid Shadow is very much on the decline. For those of you who don’t remember, we brought him into our home during Tropical storm Beta. He had a bad sore on the side of his head. We took him to the vet for a physical and neutering and he managed to get out of the clinic, wily guy, and showed up at our house two days later. He was FIV positive. He was also so full of tape worms that one showed up in his eye. Ok, took care of that. Fast forward to now. Eye problems came up with nasal congestion and we tried some homeopathic treatments which seemed to help. But he recently developed swelling in his head and we took him in. We got antibiotics and an appetite stimulant but Dr. Tom said it’s probably cancer. We are keeping him comfortable but it looks like he wants to go. At least the last 3 years of his life was in a warm, loving home. I forgot to say that we don’t know how old he is.
