My sweet Axel

Poor Kelsey, what a horrible tough time you and Axel are going through - I am so sorry. You’re doing all you can for him, and being so brave with it. One more day till the CT and that will give you a lot more information. Hopefully if Axel’s on the fentanyl at the moment he’ll be comfortable and simply loving the treats and attention.
You’re the best advocate for him and are doing so very well. Will you be taking anyone with you tomorrow for moral support and another pair of ears? Keeping everything crossed for tomorrow’s results, and let us know how you get on.
Unfortunately I will be getting the results of his scan on my own. I’m hoping to get the results tomorrow, as I’m putting a STAT read on the scan. It’s a long weekend here with thanksgiving and I couldn’t let him suffer five more days waiting for results.
After his scan today I will go to another vet to get the fentanyl patch and really hope that helps him.

I just don’t understand how this could be a tumour 😭 I really really need it to be an easy fix injury. I can’t lose him. He’s been there for me through the hardest years of my life 😭❤

Oh bless you, that’s really tough and it sounds like the timings are tricky but you’re doing all you can. Don’t forget you can record the consultation on your phone if that would help, sometimes it’s useful to capture the detail you might miss in the flurry of the moment. And we’ll be with you :hug: xxx
 
This all just breaks my heart. He’s still excited to eat, mind you he isn’t staring me down an hour before his meals like he usually would. But I believe that’s because of the medication making him very drowsy. But he wags his tail and gobbles his food up very excitedly still, wags his tail when I walk by him, or when I tell him he’s a good boy and that I love him. This is all just too hard 💔
 
I really do feel for you so much . I dont like to refer to self but I went through this with Sam and then more recently with Reuben, it is almost too much to bear, this waiting and hoping . My thoughts are with you and your darling boy :heart:
I know, I keep thinking of you with dear Sam. And then with Reuben as it was similar lump it sounded like when I was struggling with just Axel’s head lump. I do hope he is doing well ❤
 
Thank you everyone, I have dropped Axel off for his CT scan two hours ago, and I am at work trying to keep it together. I will go pick him up as soon as they call me. He will also have the fentanyl patch on and I really hope he gets relief with this. It's going to be a very long 24 hour wait

Still awake Kelsey, with my girl snoring gently by my side, which I know is exactly where you wish Axel was with you. Counting my blessings and wishing you both all the very best. Off to bed shortly. Hoping and hoping for good news tomorrow. :heart: :thelambiesarecoming::hug:

Very upsetting news. They couldn’t do the CT scan as it’s broken. Next earliest is a week….. I can’t put him through waiting a week. I just can’t 💔😭
Oh no! That's awful! Also so unfair for your poor boy and you. Can they not suggest anywhere else that you could take him? As his vets, don't they have a Duty of Care, where if they are not able to provide it they can at least point you towards an alternative?
Thinking of you both, so very hard for you. :hug: :hug: :hug:
