My beloved Ani is not doing so well. His vet appointment today revealed that his heart has enlarged further, and more fluid is backing up.

He was homeless for years. He would have died a long time ago if we had not rescued and medicated him. Still, this little guy brings me so much joy.

Share some good thoughts for him!

@hellerphant I wish him a speedy recovery and long healthy life, he's such a adorable 
@hellerphant best wishes for you and your cute bean πŸ€
@hellerphant What a good doggo. He is beautiful. I hope your vet can find something that will help
@hellerphant that's rough, sending positive your way
@PJPaints thanks mate appreciate it
@hellerphant sending good thoughts your way. Give him pets and a treat for me
@oseymour I’ll give him some sweet potato! It’s his favorite.
@hellerphant Oh no!! :( Give him lots of pettings from me plz.
@hellerphant fingers crossed. He's beautiful; reminds me of my long passed first dog many years ago.
@ATurnOfTheNut thanks! It’s always so hard when this time comes around.
@hellerphant it really does. We last lost one just under 2y ago, and have two others that are getting decidedly...creaky. So, watching anxiously there. Have you gotten to have him many years?

@ATurnOfTheNut I’m sorry to hear that. Totally get the anxiety, it is hard to deal with.

We’ve had him for three years now. He has lived a rough life, so I feel like he just started to come out of his shell last year. Hopefully he stabilizes but I guess we will see.

@hellerphant definitely crossing fingers. 3y is nowhere near long enough. Probably half our dogs have come to us as adults over the years, and I always miss that extra time.
@hellerphant sending lots of love to Ani (and you).
@hellerphant better luck to you than we had, this week. Lost my bullie-girl of 12 years, Wednesday.
@ferricoxide I’m really sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you.
@hellerphant

Thank you. The hard part's over for her.

Sincerely wishing your fur baby additional quality time. :)
@hellerphant Harold and I are sending all the loves
@NateShackleford awww beautiful doggo. Cool rock band drums too!
@hellerphant You're both so lucky to have found each other. No matter how long we share their lives, it's never enough. Much support to both of you.
@hellerphant much love to you and Ani β™₯ hopefully it will get better. It's always hard when a fur baby struggles with their health. Wishing for the beat possible outcome β™₯
