clutching on the glimmer of hope

Went to another vet today to get a 2nd opinion. He told us that the cancer is not a confirm case and that it is only a suspected one from the blood test results. Hmmm .... he is a very much more experienced vet and we sorta believed what he said more. The other vet potrayed herself as inconfident and inconclusive. The 2nd vet went on to say that David`s liver is failing and that he has only a small chance of surviving. They put him on drip to inject some glucose and amino acids into his body to give him energy and nutrients. After the drip, it became slightly more alert. Currently, he is now under intensive medication and living with a no solid foods diet. My dad cooks porridge with some chicken liver for him and he ate it hungrily. Guess that he has been hungry all the while, its just that he cannot digest his dog biscuits well and often vomits them out. He also must go for daily drips at the vet until he recovers. Now there is a glimmer of hope for him and we are all holding dearly to it..........
