Groot passed away at midnight, about 20 minutes ago. I didn?t expect him to get through the night so I planned on an all nighter. He was seen by the vet Friday and had a biopsy but the results are still pending.
He stopped eating last week and was fed by syringe for a week. On Friday his lymph nodes were so swallow. The vet suspected lymphoma.
After the biopsy on his back left inner leg area he was dragging himself around with his front legs while hopping with his right leg. It was heartbreaking to see him struggle.
I countinued his feedings. I thought he seemed a little better Saturday. On Sunday morning he had stopped moving. I feed him and gave him pain medication then let him rest.
Before I went to work I cleaned him of urine and poops then fed him. I returned home 5 hours later and his eyes were sunken. I gave him pain medication waited 20 minutes and attempted to feed him but he didn?t swallow. I then knew it was time.
I just held him and we talked, he whimpered every time I stopped petting him. I put him down in the cage at 11:50pm, made a sandwich and started to the living room but then I wanted to see if he had moved.
I found him scooting across the cage using his chin and pushing off the floor with his feet. I asked him ?where are you going Buddy, I told you to rest.? He literally contracted (spasm like) then gasped twice. I then seen him go limp. He passed away.
