Pretty much the same on Nitro...sounds like his breathing isn't worse or better than yesterday really. He's still in an oxygen tank breathing on his own without a tube. But they're concerned due to his heavy breathing about taking an x-ray. Unfortunately the Dr. from last night isn't in. She was the main one my brother wanted to talk to. He's gonna check up on him later to see how he looks and talk to someone further.

I'm so sorry Nitro is going through this. I'm praying hard for him, and for you as well. Sending hugs.
 
So our groomer sent me a PM with this picture & a message saying he is available for adoption & will be at pet adoption day on Saturday.... why do you think she sent this to MEEE?? LOL

Isn't he adorable?? He is a wheaten mix & she thinks once he gets cut he will be all white, like Gracie. They think he is 12 weeks old. I better not go see him... :D
Just look at that face...

Good afternoon ~

Oh, sorry to hear that HMG!! I hope you are over that migraine quick so you can enjoy the rest of your day!! xx
 
Appreciate the prayers guys. The Dr. called earlier this afternoon and told my brother he doesn't know if Nitro will make it to tomorrow if he's not put on the breathing machine in the city. He's still breathing on his own but he says he believes he's going to get tired and stop breathing eventually. He said our only real option is to move him to the city and put him on the breathing machine. That will cost 10-15K. My brother who's like the "head brother" of Nitro texted my other couple of brothers. The one I even expected to say forget it said just try I and we'll figure out the money later. My brother at the hospital said he had to decide now and said if we don't try it we will always regret not giving him a chance. He's 11. He's not young but he's not 15-16. He wanted to at least give him a chance. It's not a great chance. The Dr. says 20-30% chance he could come off the breathing machine slowly and recover. Of course I'd feel better if it was more like 70-80% but it is what it is. My brother was right. If we didn't at least try it then we'd regret it. He said you can always make more money. And although the odds aren't good at 20-30%...it's not like the Dr. is saying there's only a less than 1% chance or even 10%. So that's the decision...and I am prepared for the worst to happen but of course a small part of me hopes for a minor miracle. If not...I will be able to feel good that I did everything I could to help Nitro and will always thank him for everything he's done for me. Always being there when I came home from a bad day at work. Always being there to say Hi to (even when he was moody wanting to go to sleep and be left alone lol)...and above all for the last 10 years turning me into a big time dog person. I thank him for all of that. I'm sorry to ramble but you guys have helped me through a difficult thing here...and I thank you all for that.
