Unfortunately I do believe Mr Curley will now be our first loss. Despite what last night's vet said I'm pretty convinced along with his URI he has PT. :cry4:

Squid drooled a lot during his final days, and he had kidney failure/cancer too. Kinda of a brownish-tinged watery drool, mostly when he was stressed. Got ALL over the front of him and matted his fur something awful. These were his symptoms in rough order of appearance:
Lethargy/not eating his normal solid treats
Weight loss
Thinning fur
Wild head-swinging/struggling when offered liquid food
Drooling
Not eating anything unless syringe-fed
Dehydration, extreme weight loss, extreme lethargy <-- When he hadn't moved an inch in over 24 hours and had refused all food and water, I knew it was only the SQ fluids keeping him alive and decided to help him pass on.
I think the only times Squid ever showed a rolling behavior was when he tried to do his head-swinging while I was going to pick him up.
I'm glad your boy is holding steady-ish. I think it's because Finn hasn't stopped eating/completely lost his appetite like Squid did. That, or Finn only has kidney failure whereas Squid had failure combined with kidney cancer/tumors.
