Sebastian had been put back on the anitbiotics and was not handling them very well after my last post. So we took him off of them…that was around mid September. It looked like he was on the mend…the mass that caused the infection was not coming back and his neck was healing nicely. Then on September 29th I was outside with the dogs playing and noticed something funny about Sebastian’s neck so I called for him to come over to me. I felt his neck and the mass was back and the poor thing was in so much pain from me touching his neck. I decided it was time and took him in the house to show my Mom. I told her it was time and she agreed so we called the vet and made the appointment for later that day to have him put down. That was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make in my life! Saying goodbye to him was really hard but I know it was something that had to be done to keep him pain free. Tomorrow will be 1 month and it has been really hard. Chien is so depressed over losing his buddy and Oliver has had tummy troubles over it…we have all been struggling. Especially since this was Sebastian’s favorite time of year…he loved to crunch in the leaves and play in them. Oh and did I mention one of the birds had died not long before Sebastian. So it has been a hard couple of months here.
