Thanks folks, all the positive wishes and love is very humbling! It's a great help knowing I'm not alone in this and that others have gone through similar. The wee guy is still not eating, they've given him an appetite stimulator to try and get him eating, but the vet tonight wasn't half as positive as the one today, although she says they aren't giving up on him. I just feel lack of progress isn't a good sign. I know he desperately wants to get better, come home to this loving house, and resume scampering around the woods, but maybe his poor wee body has had enough. Like a previous poster had said, I feel my world is coming to and end if he doesn't pull through. I'd give anything to spend the rest of my life with him, I'm more comfortable with him than any human ( except my wife, obviously ). Why can't dogs live forever? The world would be a better place
