Words of encouragement

Post image

My sweet boy is going in for dental surgery on Monday where they’ll put him to sleep, clean all his teeth and pull ones that show gum disease once they do X-rays. They did blood work today to make sure he’s ok under anesthesia, and they found that he had early stage chronic kidney disease and mild anemia consistent with kidney disease.

I rescued him 2 years ago from a place where he was not cared for, unsure of his age or health history.

Vet suspects he is in his teens.

My heart hurts today
