I took him in this afternoon after watching his breathing become more and more labored over the past couple of days. Dr. Jones took an x-ray and told me his lungs had filled with fluid and unfortunately they'd also found a spot on his lungs -- Lymphoma.
It's just mind boggling to me how quickly this all happened. She said his kidneys were even larger than the last time (just this past Friday), and that she could make him feel well enough to go home for the day, but inevitably I'd have to bring him back to be pts. I just couldn't watch the poor guy deal with one more setback so I made what I hope was the right decision. I cried, my mom cried, my vet tech Missy cried, Dr. Jones cried.. it was mess! But I know he's no longer hurting. And I really hope that time heals all wounds because right now my heart is broken in about a million pieces.
Signing off to spend time with my other two, who will also miss Jag like crazy.
Thank you all so much for your support, prayers, vibes, and good thoughts. It made the last few days with him that much more special!
