My dog had Cancer; March 21, 1989

I woke up at nine o’clock. Alex and I had breakfast then I had a shower and got dressed. Charlie took Kelly to the vet this morning. Kelly had a seizure last night. It has to be one of the most horrible things to watch since you can’t do anything but wait. Kelly also had one this morning. On the stairs. I had talked to a vet last night, he said he could have epilepsy but couldn’t be sure. This morning I talked to the Animal Hospital, they said they didn’t have an appointment available until this afternoon. I told them Charlie was going to work in the afternoon. They said we could bring Kelly in but we would have to leave him there until someone could look at him. Dr. H phoned in the afternoon. He said Kelly’s blood count was quite low and he was possibly anemic. Dr. H said Kelly could have a tumour, kidney problem or epilepsy. He wanted to send a blood sample to another lab first. Dr. H wanted to keep him overnight but I said I wanted to take him home. Dr. H said to give him until four o’clock. I took Alex to Mom and Dad’s while I went to get Kelly. They said the doctor had given Kelly a shot to fight off any infection. Alex and I had dinner at five thirty. After dinner we watched tv. Alex went to bed at eight o’clock. I went to bed at ten o’clock.
