Turbo is now on hospice care. It will only be a matter of time before I have to put him down. :(
Because of an infection in his spine, he is quickly losing control of his back legs and tail. He's not able to pick himself up when he poops now so it's a mess to clean him up.
His arm swelling is growing weekly and he's no longer able to put any weight on it or use his fingers.
If the swelling was only in his arm, we could treat him with antibiotics and prolong his life some. But with it in his spine, there is no chance to contain or control it.
Dr Folland also discovered that Turbo's eye socket was bleeding because of trapped suture material that wasn't dissolving. He was able to remove the suture and flush out old blood so that should help stop the bleeding.
Poor guy was in so much pain during his appointment and was angry with me after. I laid him down on a soft towel and stroked his back till he went to sleep and then picked him up and held him.
I don't know when I'll take him in to be put down. It hurtsy heart too much to think about it right now. It will be soon. He's in too much pain and the infection is spreading too fast.
