How did I get here, and what is that tube?

 I'm not sure if you guys have notice my tube in my photos... 

See it around my neck? 

When we got the bad news, about the Big C, I had been at the dogtor for over a week. I was really sick. 

It started on the 30th of August, one minute I was making sure the human shared her breakfast with me, and next I was hunched up in pain and shivering from being cold. She rushed me to the emergency vet (it was a Sunday), my lips were blue and they had to put me on oxygen, I'd gone into shock.

My human had to sign lots of paperwork and answer scary questions about what to do if my heart stopped... Then she had to leave me there.

When my oxygen levels were better they did some xrays and found my liver and heart were enlarged. They needed to look further, but had to wait till I was stronger to do an ultrasound. A few days later they did and saw my kidney was full of liquid, and there were masses in my liver and bladder. The next day I had a big snooze and they had a look in my tummy. They took some samples and sent them to a lab. They eventually came back to say that there are nasty tumours in my liver and bladder, that they can't cut out or treat with chemo. 

Boy was I feeling rough after that! And, because of Covid-19 precautions I wasn't allowed to see my family... I just didn't feel like eating, so they had to get my food to me another way... Introducing, the tube...

I came home on the 11th of September with the tube. The human would wizz up my food, squirt it into the tube, right into my tummy. I needed all my food this way for about a week. Then I gradually started eating a little more myself each day.

By the 22nd I was eating all my food myself! I had to do that for a whole week... Until today, when I got the tube taken out!

That is the story, getting the tube was a big thing, but I don't think I'd be here today without it, so we know the human made the right decision.
