Dylan Update

4.8.2012: Dylan has remained quite poorly so after a discussion with Stuart, my vet, he was admitted for fluids and antibiotics (he has another temperature) on Wednesday morning. He had a stormy course; not eating much and obviously not happy. He wouldn't leave the drip alone so they had to put a buster collar on him which he hated. When I visited he was miserable and kept on crying at me to let him come home.His temperature was very high at one point (over 40 degrees) and the antibiotics don't seem to touch it. Unfortunately, temperature spikes are one of the features of FIP. After talking to Stuart this morning he felt there was not much more they could offer him and we have brought him home so that we can give him some TLC. He says we can ring every day to discuss his progress so that we can decide together when Dylan has had enough and it's time to let him go. Suddenly it's all very real and there are no words.
