He continued to go downhill with his neurological condition (flopping walk, dilated pupil on one side, apparent blindness) and the vets were pretty sure he wasn't even very aware of anything. He'd stopped eating and pooping for a day and as we prepared for his next neurologist visit, I was pretty sure we would be getting "the quality-of-life talk." I broke down crying that morning but as a "hail mary", I gave him a homeopathic remedy (I know, I know) after which he went to sleep. When I went to get him ready for his appointment, he pooped and urinated all over the hallway and was walking around normally, which he hadn't done in months. I had never been so happy cleaning up poop! We had him for a few more months, walking okay and interacting, even playing again, eating and doing his business just fine till the morning I found him totally paralyzed. It's heart-wrenching to get these "extensions" but I don't think the little fellows mind getting a little more joy out of life. It's a gift you gave, hard-won and precious despite its cruel brevity. Peace to you.
