My little man Fred is 6 years old. He hadn't been himself for about a week, but there was a serious decline in him this morning. Got him an emergency appointment with the vet. He diagnosed anaemia but he said it's only a symptom of a more serious problem. The likely problems are kidney failure, cancer or leukaemia. He gave him a steroid injection and an antibiotic injection. I have to bring him back daily until Wednesday when he said we'll have to make a decision depending on how he's responding to treatment. We agreed not to try and find out what the ultimate problem is as it would be too stressful for Fred. Should I be preparing myself for the worst? I know he's an old man now but he's never been sick before. I lost my other piggies at 3 and 4, so I've never had to deal with an ageing piggy before. He's off his food, very few droppings and the poor little guy looks miserable I made him up a salad this evening with all his favourites and he has been picking at it but he'd usually devour it in minutes. He's also lost a visible amount of weight in the past week.
