I'm trying to remain optimistic. Peach wasn't able to breathe very well at home this morning and he got just worse and worse until at 7am he collapsed. My mom rushed him to the nearest open animal hospital... one in Paramus, which is apparently one of the biggest in the US. They gave him a kagillion shots and an IV, X-rays, and put him in an oxygen tank in intensive care. He's in critical condition.
Then my mom came back home and told me how he was and w/e and I had to get ready for ski instructing, but I'm like screw that, so I went to see him. There was this young doctor who didn't look like she was any older than 20 and she's like... we don't know what's wrong with him, he's still the same. I went to see him and poor peach was just sitting there staring at a wall, taking short breaths and not even recognizing me. I burst into tears and completely zoned out of all her explanations of what could possibly be wrong with him.
So I came to my job like 3 hours late with an extremely sad demeanor and told my boss the long sad story. Which I'm pretty sure he didn't really want to hear. w/e anyway, 6 hours later, I was done and went to see Peach again.
The X-rays showed that my poor darling peach has heart disease. They wouldn't even promise me he'd make it. So he's still at the hospital and will be there until Monday, best scenario. However, they are saying that they are "aggressively treating him" for heart failure and liquid in his lungs and that he's been showing slight improvement.
Not to mention that this is all so much money. It's up to $2000 so far. My mom wanted to take him home, since they charge the most for keeping him there overnight for so many nights, but apparently, he would surely die if we did that. So there he is.
PEACH!!!!!!!
Send good vibes.
I am so sad.
