This happened so fast, he was diagnozed on 9/17, spent 4 days in oxygen, sent home, treated with itraconozole, but he only had it in one lung, no other symtoms, he had a fever all this time, he dropped down to 12 pounds from 16, not too bad, when he came home he ate like there was no tomorrow, 9/24 he went for a check up, he was given more antibiotics for his 105 fever, he had some kind of infection, his liver enzmes were a little high but was blamed on the too high of dozes of itraconozole, I was told to not give him any for 2 days then drop his doze to 2.8mil, 9/26 he was as normal as can be, then he started just laying around, I expected that, he tried being his old self, not leaving my side, playing a little, but his lungs were not getting better, I was happy when I made it past the 10 day mark, on Friday 9/28 he wouldn't eat nor could I get him to take the meds, my family and I even tried to hold him down, he actually bit me for the 1st time ever. Saturday he was less active, that night he could hardly breath, Sunday he was just lying on the chair, not moving, not drinking water, barely could lift his head, yesterday, I stayed at his side all day, again no water or food or meds, he could barely stand up, I called the Dr. I told him that his urine was like syrup and all red, he said he would problably have to go back to ICU, put thru the same as before, but no guarantees, my family cried all day, we couildn't put him thru this again, last night we all went to the Vet, my Sonny just looked at us, it seemed that he actually had tears in his eyes, the Vet said he has never seen this Blasto only in the lungs, no where else in his body but he was fighting to breath, so we made the heart breaking decision to let him go, I held him in my arms as he took his last breath, my heart is broken, I feel so empty, you see, I was home with him 24 hours a day and he was my life, I hope he forgives me for what I have done, I feel so guilty not knowing if I did the right thing.
