Pictures PDD - Ollie

[Fuzzy]

Sorry I haven't been around that much recently. Ollie is losing weight rapidly. His weight in March was his usual 370gms. This morning he was 253gms. He is eating mainly formula now. I mix Emeraid (which he hates but is better for him) with Harrisons Recovery Formula. Into that I mix in his meds: Celebrex and Gabapentin. He is eating some cooked mash (lower fibre grains and legumes) so that he doesn't get bored of the formula. He sleeps most of the time. He is so thin it's heartbreaking. I carry him to wherever he wants to go as much as possible to conserve his energy.

His friend, Kobe does his best to show him he is loved:

This was taken at the beginning of September when he was much brighter. He gulps the formula down if it is warm but not if it is cold:

His breathing has become laboured in the last few days. Secondary infections are common, but he also has Aspergillosis. So he is now on Baytril too.

Please hold a good thought for Ollie.

Hang in there. You're doing your best. I am so glad he has Kobe to give him extra TLC.

I am so sorry. It is very hard to watch them decline in health.

@Fuzzy I can't find the words to tell you how sad I am for you and Ollie and Kobe. I went through a similar experience recently as Jasper faded. Hold on and be strong for Ollie and Kobe. My heart is with you.

Ollie, you are a wonderful guy and a real warrior.

Ollie has a great caretaker, he's living his best life with a friend of his own. You can't fix his past but he's had a wonderful life with you.
