| Ralphie
I wanted to thank y'all for taking the time to answer me when I came here looking for help.
I just wanted to let you know that Ralphie's leg swelling progressed all the way up to his thigh and he was in considerable pain, even with pain meds. His appetite continued to diminish and we had to encourage him to leave the porch for pee duty. Before moving on to a specialist, though, our vet did a chest x-ray which revealed a grapefruit-sized mass.
His overall condition was very poor and we decided to let him go. He was 8-1/2 and the most beautiful companion we have ever known. We were with the him the entire time and it was very peaceful and full of love. He took a piece of him with us yesterday, but he gave us so much that we can never complain.
Thank you for your help and concern.
