The Charlie Chronicles (Part 3)
We got a call from the Fox Valley Animal Referral Center at around 2 am. Charlie was apparently not as receptive to the blood transfusion as they were hoping, so they were going to try different blood (I think). They needed our permission to proceed.
They got it.
Around 10 am, we got the text that Charlie was headed to surgery. We had been told it would take about hours. So, for the next two hours, we tried to busy ourselves around the house.
The Charlie Chronicles (Part 2)
The following day (Sept 2), the Fox Valley Animal Referral Center (FVARC) called us and we learned that it was indeed a tumor they had found.
They asked if we wanted to proceed with an exploratory surgery to see what was happening with the tumor/mass.
They told me that they may find that the tumor had spread and he may not have a lot of time.
It could also be benign, and hopefully, something that could be taken out and biopsied.
It is an expensive procedure, and they said choosing to euthanize was an understandable decision.
I cried.
