Update on Snowball

Well, I just got back from the vet - again. The news is not good. They did an ultrasound on his heart this morning and have determined that he is now in Advanced Heart Failure and decreasing rapidly. I asked about how much time we would have with him and he said probably 6 months or so. They called in a script to help his coughing and are keeping him on the other 2 meds he's been taking. I am going to miss my boy......

  5. Tough news for the whole family. We lost a furry family member a year or so ago and is hard on everyone. The kids now do talk about him in a "happy memory" way which helps some. Hugs to you!
