The vet told us a few weeks ago that Sparky has probably two or three weeks of life left.
It has been almost a month since the diagnosis and he looks the same to me, maybe even a bit better than last week.
Still enjoying his meals, still playing with the ball, still liking his walks. I cannot say that his quality of life is lower in general. Inside, he rests as usual or sleeps but outside he looks "very healthy".
We made today the appointment for the 30-days checkup which will include blood tests, a general exam and the x-rays for the lungs.
Everyone is agitated and anxious because who knows what the situation is. Maybe things are the same with his disease, maybe worse, could they be better?
We already got a month more with him which is a lot considering that, on September 1, the vet thought that Sparky may not make it through the night.
I am hoping that time will continue to be patient with him.
My good feeling about Sparky being well for now is present still.
I guess that the visit to the vet will confirm it or not.
