    The margins between life and death are so fine. He’d been there for days. You can see the poop and pee he’d been lying in. He’d been forced to give up (2/7)

    I was worried moving him could kill him. But also without much time left we simply had to get him to hospital. We believe he got hit by a car and crawled in there and got progressively worse. You can see huge swelling on his 🍒(3/7)

    The medical team worked wonders. His blood results and other vitals were horrific. They actually focused on keeping him alive, getting drips in and pain relief etc. he needs the strength for the battles ahead (4/7)

    Our hospital is packed with sick dogs. I was holding my breath coming in this morning. I still worried he might be dead given his huge battles. His little head popping up was a great sight (5/7)

    Bear is obviously absolutely exhausted and battling for his life. Getting through the first 36 hours is a great start and he has lots of pain relief. The problems are at the pelvis area and maybe some internal issues but there is hope (6/7)

    He could have died alone in his own mess yesterday. Instead he is tucked up in his fresh blanket ready for another big sleep. We’ll take that win for now. Tomorrow we go again 🤞❤️ (7/7)
