DDog2/my boy has been admitted to the Queen Mother Hospital at the RVC yesterday.
He's had gooey eyes for a few days, then I bumped into him on Tuesday evening and he screamed. Whipped him off to the vets Thursday as he was fine in general but the eye looked a bit cloudy- ulcer was found and medication was given, including tramadol.
Yesterday, luckily we have friends staying, after id gone to work they text to say he was super stoned and vomiting. I rushed home and took him straight up to the vet where they said it looked like the ulcer was melting and he needed to have emergency surgery. Admittance to RVC was agreed and off I went.
As we're leaving the vet the bloody diarrhoea started, and by the time we reached RVC his stomach was swollen and it was almost pure blood looking.
So now my poor baby is battling what we hope is gastro and an eye ulcer. They've admitted him for what will likely be the week. He's gone into the oxygen chamber to help him. He's too sick to operate on for the eye which may rupture at any point, worst case there is he may lose the eye. But when I had to leave yesterday, he was so lifeless, like he'd given up. I'm an hour away and won't make it there quickly if I need to and I won't know how he is until they call sometime this morning.
I'm heartbroken. I feel lost. His sister is starting to miss him. I should have taken him to the vet as soon as his eyes were gooey. He's 10 so not young, I held him in the car before going in and didn't want to say goodbye to him, I'm willing him to be strong but it's killing me.
