The good news is that he has put some weight on and has no muscle wastage anywhere else. His breathing is fine and his heart seems fine.
So we will just leave him be and let him enjoy life for as long as he has quality.

I think if Bernie had the choice that is what he would do himself. My gut tells me that is just what I would do for mine, but everyone has to make that choice.

Glad he seems good though and looking forward towards pictures.

Havent given an update on Bernie for quite some time so here goes...

He is slowly losing weight and muscle mass but still remains well within himself. He is still a happy scruffy fella with lots of love and cuddles to share. He is still eating, although not as much as he used to and is still quite playful.

Will be taking him back to the vets in a month, his last visit was january. They just like to check on him every few months as long as there are no real problems.

We just take it a day at a time but as I say he is fine in himself for now.
