12 days before doggy heaven...

12 days... a series of unfortunate events before doggy heaven.

First day... saturday, peppers last shot was administered to him... the vaccines that would make him safe from sickness. On that day it also started to rain. 

The next few days was normal we were expecting him to weaken because of the vaccines so we didnt let him play with nutmeg first... bug eventually they did. 

It was raining all week so nutmeg and pepper enjoyed the cool weather they almost slept through the entire day... so they just sleep then play...

On the 6th day... thursday we noticed pepper being too picky about his food and he almost ate nothing the whole day.

7th day... friday, he vomitted early morning... we were not alarmed at all because this ussually happened when he had a vaccine... after vomitting he will eat plenty na... so as ussual i went to work and cucci needed to go somewhere... before i went to work pepper ate pa because we force fed him water and sugar just in case he ate something that hes not supposed to eat.

I was thinking maybe nalipasan lng ng gutom kaya nagsuka because the other day so picky sya... when cucci went home around midnight... he noticed pepper so weak and shaking... and when he tried feeding him he vomitted everything and vomitted more... this is uncommon for pepper so cucci and pepper went to my office and we brought pepper to animal house to be checked.

8th day... saturday, 2am at animal house initial diagnosis is baka may nakain na something na nakakalason because he vommited sa taxi, sa animal house, sa sidewalk ng office ko, sa taxi on the way home and at home after the hospital. The vet wants more test to be done just to be sure but i will not lie i know its gonna be expensive since its a well known animal hospital here. So i was honest sa vet i told him that i dont have cash with me right now i cant afford the tests but if we can do some home remedy just for tonight i can get cash tom and come back if peppers condition worsen. The vet gave us antibiotics and some vitamins and another for the vomitting... then off we went home. After taking the first dose of meds at 3am in the morning pepper was feeling ok he was sleeping normal hes vomitting stops and we were able to sleep until 10am.

Still saturday... my brothers about to leave so the house is busy...  i was cooking pepper and nutmeg is calm cucci is watching tv sa sala no vomiting episode at all... but still pepper is not eating... so after lunch we decided to bring him to the vet his regular vet. At the vet they noticed that pepers gums is slightly yellowish na so they told us that they need to confine pepper and do the test and we agreed. Initial diagnosis is leptosyrosis.

9th day ... sunday, pepper spends the night at the vet... and he was worse than the other day... he can stand but hes weak vet told us that 30% chances of surviving...

10th day... monday, still the same and peppers not eating nor drinking but he is given energy boosters... nutrients... and a big dose of antibiotics still 30% chances

11th day... tuesday, new meds were given to him and it looks promising we were asked to buy gluthathione for his liver and results of the lab test is available. Everything is above normal but his chances of surving went back to 50%

12th day... wednesday... still in meds hes condition is improving but not fast enough... the doctor told us that until he eats he wont be fine.. i have a feeling that uts peppers time already but i didnt follow my guts... if im going to decide on his second day at the hospital i will bring him home... bath him and let him die peacefully beside me... but i admit a part of me a big part of me wanted him to live so i decided to keep fighting...

The next day i just received a text... my 12 days is over... and i didnt get to count anymore. He is gone

Doctor said that the virus was strong for peppers size... he said that probably after the vaccine when peppers still weak he contracted the virus thats why it got to its liver agad... peppers been fighting hard since day 3 sa hospital with his condition he should be dead by that time but he still fought for 2 more days... until i cant count no more and he cant take it any longer.

Now i can start counting the days i will miss him... and i bet 12 days is a small number coz right now its been 5 days already and the pain that im feeling right now is multiplying... till we meet again my son... my baby... my love... till we meet again
