RIP - Stephen - October 19, 2016 at 6:20 pm

Last Wednesday, Stephen was still his usual bouncy ball of intelligence that ruled the house. Then on Thursday and Friday we noticed he was looked thinner and not eating. We took him to the vet for an overnight stay and they released him on Saturday, a little worse for wear and a bit grumpy, but having been given the all-clear. But he wasn’t ok. Through Saturday night and into Sunday, he wasn’t eating and just lying around. We took him back in on Monday to see what else could be wrong. A scan showed a large mass in his abdomen and when the vets went in, it had spread to multiple organs. There was nothing we could do for him, the vets carefully stitched him up and brought him home for one final visit. He passed away at 2:30pm surrounded by those who loved him. I can’t believe it. He’s gone.
