I wanted to share this story with you all, and hop...

I wanted to share this story with you all, and hopefully it will brighten up your day.

I want to say thank again to Dr. Mehdi and all his team at ABVC veterinary clinic for your amazing work again.

Our dog Sooty is nearly 17 years old, so she has had a good innings.

10 months ago Sooty was diagnosed with cancer of the spleen.

I posted the story about 10months ago regarding her situation.

Thankfully Sooty made a full recovery, and continued to be her usual stubborn grumpy self,so we knew the operation was a success.

Because of Sooty s age we always knew the cancer could come back, so this has been something in the back of our minds.

Our number one aim was to make sure she isn t in pain, which we achieved. Our second aim was to make sure she witnessed the birth of our second child (Amari) .
Because she has been a
custodian for my first child (Alia).

Amari arrived on Xmas eve and they have been inseparable ever since

Last week Sooty s health started to deteriorate. She wasn t walking properly , hardly eating and was randomly screaming in pain.

So my wife and I started to prepare for the worst for Sooty s final sleep.

As much as a difficult task it is, this is definitely the hardest thing any dog owner will do.

I booked the appointment with the clinic , for Sooty s final passage.

When I arrived at the clinic Dr Mehdi examined Sooty, and his prognosis was different to what we expected.

He prescribed some medication and told me to come back in a couple of days, for further investigations.

During this time Sooty made a fully recovery and was back to normal.

My wife said Sooty just fancies Dr Mehdi and that s why she is back to normal

However it s not good news, Dr Mehdi informed me that Sooty has suspected cancer in spine which has been causing her the pain.
Due to her age and the location where the legion is on the spine, a biopsy can t be taken.

We can manage the pain temporary, until it gets to the stage where we will have to say goodbye to her, which will between 3-6months Inshallah.

Sooty is our little warrior; who has had one of her eyes removed, Spleen removed due to cancer, arthritis,a few teeth removed and now she has bone cancer.

Seems she isn t ready to leave us just yet.

Again I want to thank ABVC vets for giving us the chance to make lots more memories with Sooty and the of rest family.

The moral of this story, is never give up on your loved ones until you have no choice.

As Sooty is now Amari s dog he sends his thanks and love the most with Atty Thompson.
