I just need to vent...My heart is nearly broken

He's been in pain for over a week now. Different clinics and different explanations to what could be wrong...all pain medication dont seem to help.

Today our own vet got xray photos and other documentation and she thinks it's meningitis. He got a shot and he just got up to eat and drink for the first time today also went out in the yard and peed for like 30 seconds... I was so happy.

Really hope he's going to get better from this medication.

The photo is from a lovely rainy day in the forest a couple of months ago. Send lovely thoughts to my pup please. Thank you

Edit:

Thank you all for your words. It means a lot to me that so many reached out.

My pup had an ok night, at least he is stable, wants to go outside and do his business and wants to eat and drink.

Im hopefull about seeing some progress over the next days🙂

He's a special boy.

Our 3,5 month old lab puppy managed to steal a whole chocolate bar (180g milk chocolate) while we moved christmas packages around and ate it whole.

We force-fed a handful of salt to him immediately after noticing what had happened and he vomited almost all of it out. I called a vet and got instructions to give medicinal coal and monitor closely if any symptoms appear.

It's been several hours now and he's pretty much back to normal, a bit beaten up due to vomiting and upset stomach, but at least so far seems like nothing permanent happened. He's got a vet scheduled anyways in few days for other stuff so he'll get checked up at the same time.

Myles enjoying the warmth of the fire. Beign a Spanish water dog, he is most comfortable with muddy puddles, but today he needed the warmth.

Devon is not a fan of the cold, although I wouldn’t be either if I had such low body fat…
