My buddy may be dying

Some positive news!!!
I've been in and outta the room where he's resting, went in about 10 minutes ago and he was really wadding his tail.
Slantflat over in Stockbridge and I were talking and he gave me a great idea, Zeus has a special red leash that i use to bring him and take him out, Mike suggested getting the leash and see if he would react to it, he did, he kinda stumbled to his feet and i got him outside, took a epic pee and went into his house, i warmed up the salmon and was able to hand feed him some. He'll be coming back in before dark, not outta the woods yet, but i'm feeling much better about the situation, he'll still be heading to the doc.
Once again, thanks for all the replies and concern!
