Vixx May 2022 10:06pm, 15 May 2022 1,611 posts	0 Vixx LOL! Loving the new box photos NDWDave I took Spike to the veterinary hospital in Wolverhampton (as they are linked to our vets'). His breathing got worse and I was worried. He was out for nearly 5hrs and when I went to look for him he was on the back path and let me pick him up to bring him in. I got a small amount of metacam in him and smeared ice cream (vanilla) round his chops to make him lick it, and whilst he perked up, I was still bothered. I am a little bit miffed at the veterinary hospital as they said yesterday that they had 2 appointments (neither of which I could make due to being in Manchester, and Wolverhampton is nearly an hour away) and that was it. I rang another vets tonight in Halesowen and near to mom and they do a 24hr emergency clinic. They told me to go to ours - Ours didn't even say I could go as an emergency! I could have had him there yesterday but no-one told me that

Vixx May 2022 9:32am, 16 May 2022 1,612 posts	0 Vixx Vet just called. He has a heart issue where they think he's had an issue previously that might not have shown up but his heart isn't pumping properly. They have drained the fluid but said he's still really lethargic at present. They said without medication he has less than 3 months and his heart could just stop anyway in that time. It would be two tablets twice a day. I don't think the carers would do it so I didn't know what to do, so they have said they will start the meds and scan him again at teatime but if there's no improvement they have said perhaps he should be put to sleep. What would you do? I don't want him to suffer, but they have said if the meds work it could give more time if managed. I need to do what is right for him.
