Diesel had a very rough night last night. We were up at 2:23 a.m. and I stayed awake with him all night. He seems to do better in the morning after sunrise.
But while sitting with him early this morning I made a promise to him that I would muster the strength to do what was necessary but hurtful.
You see, yesterday afternoon he wanted to play. I tossed his ball just about 15 feet. He ran to pick it up and fell over. I knew he had fainted.
This morning his appetite is really diminished. His tongue looks a bit bluish to me. He has lost weight even while eating.
I called the vet's office and made an appointment for tomorrow morning.
I guess the reality is sinking in right now.
I am also questioning whether I am doing the right thing or not. At times he appears to be doing better and then he has no energy or enthusiasm
I hope I am doing the right thing for Diesel because it really hurts.
When I look into his eyes I think he knows the end is near. I want to believe he trusts me to do what is best for him - not me.
