When Knox was diagnosed with CKD and started SQ fluids several times a week, he hated needles. He’d urinate every time and had to be muzzled. With lots of patience (and peanut butter), he slowly came out of his shell until one day he stopped urinating beforehand and no longer needed the muzzle.
For about 6 months he got fluids 2-3 times a week. I adored his mom, who did everything for her baby. On days he stayed with us, I sent her photos of us playing and spent my breaks beside his kennel reading books.
In the end, he was hospitalized with us and I knew it was time. I ate my lunch lying next to him before his mom came back to say goodbye. I was heartbroken.
The doctor told me I was instrumental in his care. Even with a poor CKD prognosis, I got to give him a great quality of life in his final months. I’ll always remember Knox, “my best friend.”
