Sadness

Brutus has taken a turn for the worse. He started coughing really bad last night and it has continued. His nose has become extremely dry and snotty. Poor little thing. He officially stopped eating and drinking today so the British woman who works at the shelter suggested we take him back and the owner of the shelter will decide if he can be treated by her own vet. It looks like he has distemper which, I think, is worse than Parvo. I can't bear to watch him suffer. Eventually he'll get seizures and everything goes to pieces. I hope the woman at the shelter can help him and he survives. It breaks my heart to have to take him back, but I think that at least they'll be able to put him down if things get really bad. He's such a good puppy, I wish we could keep him.
