1998 - 2011He slept on the bed and was fine last night, but when I woke up today, I found him in the living room unable to use his hind legs. At the vet they diagnosed a thrown blood clot that had paralyzed his back end. He was already in heart failure, and in pain, so Chris and I held him while he was euthanized at about 12:30 this afternoon.
This was very sudden, but I'm not entirely surprised, as his best friend James died a couple of months ago. They were like an old married couple and it's common for those to follow one another.
