OMG! I am absolutely flabbergasted. I'm sure some of you might remember me posting about my mother and son duo Oscar & C.C. Well C.C. passed away in her sleep last Friday. Oscar became ill almost immediately and things went from bad to worse. I had to bury him this morning. He died at about 5:45am in his sleep. Two days after C.C. died he stopped eating and was so weak and dizzy he was having trouble standing. By Thursday his face started to swell a little on the right side and then the vet gave me antibiotics and by Friday he was eating, drinking, walking outside, etc. Yesterday, Saturday he was like a different dog back to his old self. Then yesterday his face had become extremely swollen on both sides, his right ear was heavy and really thick with some sort of fluid and it was in his chest, ribs and down his right leg. There is no emergency vet hospital in my area and by the time all this swelling started he was gone. I'm not sure what happened to him. He was fine and then got like that. His face was swollen so big he didn't look like the same dog. The vet thought it was a dental abscess and so did we. God only knows what happened to my precious Oscar. This is so hard to bear. I wasn't even beginning to get through my grief over C.C. and now I have to lose my Oscar. Eleven years with him was not enough and my heart is just aching. :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry
