Desperately in need of good thoughts for Rocky. He is at the hospital. So many things going on with the poor little boy all at once, and they are not even sure what it is. But I fear I will not be bringing him home, despite the efforts of the neurologist and other specialists. He is in an oxygen cage right now. Blood tests just came back with good results, but I fear the worst. I am sitting here crying and drinking. Trying to knock myself out.

Not really. It could be an infection. Maybe blood clots to the heart and brain. A stroke. Loss of use of his limbs on his left side. Maybe a seizure. I could go on. He is having trouble breathing, so he is in an oxygen cage. I just can't believe it. But looking back over the past several weeks, little things start to stand out. I am so sad. He has been my velcro dog since I brought him home 14 years ago at 8 weeks, driving with him on my shoulder, crying all the way (him not me that time). It hurts so much to see him this way, but the doc says to give it a bit of time and some of it may sort itself out. I wish I felt more hopeful.
very sorry to hear this and hoping you hear good news soon.
Sending good thoughts and healing prayers to you and Rocky!!!!
Oh, lulilu, I woke up to your post. I am so, so sorry. Please keep us posted as you are able. You know your fellow Peeps absolutely understand how you feel. I was up most of the night with Olive (tummy upset, it seems) and thoughts of what you are facing are never far from my mind. 
Thank you everyone. It means a lot.
He is the same. In oxygen. Can't stand up. Seeing a cardiologist this morning. Maybe a neurologist. But I am coming to terms -- or trying to at least -- that he may not recover. I can't stop crying. It seems as if this came our of nowhere, but as a look back over the past few weeks, there were signs of possible problems. But I had him at the vet two weeks ago and had an x-ray and got some cough meds. Back again last week for a mole and recheck. I am a babbling fool at the moment.

Lulilu, I just saw this. I'm SO sorry to hear about Rocky. What did the cardiologist and neurologist say?
