They had to put Chewy to sleep yesterday. Hepatiic lipidosis. I'm shattered and in shock. My neighbor (his mom) is worse. I posted the details on the...
I am heartbroken to report that Chewy had to be put to sleep. He went to ER on Wednesday night and when I spoke to the vet on Thurs morning she...
Just wondering why they can't syringe feed him or giving him IV calories...? Prayers for you.
