I got home from visiting Lori in Utah last night to find out that Gizmo had a very bad day on Sunday. Alan said he was throwing up, wouldn't eat, was breathing very hard and looked to be in pain. I took him to the emergency vet at 4 a.m. and then to his cancer vet when they opened. It appears the cancer has spread all over to the point where Moe can no longer eat. It happened very suddenly, as it is a very aggressive, fast-growing cancer. The vet said I could leave Moe there and they could give him IV's, but it's not going to get better. I don't want him to be alone somewhere strange. Unless something drastic happens, we are going to put him to sleep tomorrow. I don't know how I'll do it. The vet gave him a pain killer and sent me home with two more pain killer shots, which Alan will give him. He hasn't been in pain throughout this illness, and I am very thankful this happened suddenly. I've just been petting him all day so I never forget how soft and sweet he is. Thank you everyone for everything.
