Re: Very worried about Samson.


Hi, I won't write too much as I am not really very coherent at the moment.
The vet doesn't think there is much we can do for Samson, other than keep him comfortable. There is no point in chemotherapy, from what I can see and the vet doesn't want him on steriods because he is already immunocompromised because of his thyroid issues.
I am taking him in tomorrow because he seems bloated, it has concerned me since I noticed it a couple of days ago, but I decided to wait for his results before panicking. My concern is that he has a fluid build up, if so things look bleak for him.
I am afraid I'm going to wallow in pity tonight and deal with things tomorrow, he is comfortable and that will be our priority for however long he has.
Thanks for all your support, it is much appreciated.

Re: Very worried about Samson.


Samson does have some fluid in his abdomen.
We have some tablets to try and stop things getting any worse, but the prognosis is he may not make it to the new year. It is unbelievable because he looks so well, but I have noticed he is a bit quieter and more grumpy, we can only make his remaining time a nice as possible.

Bless you Farthing; you are doing what you can for Samson. Big hugs, because I'm sure it's not easy to see him like this
