Towards the end of last year I posted here about Biscuit and how she was slowing down. I didn't know if she was just getting older or if something was wrong. Well it turned out there was something very wrong and not long after that she passed away just before Christmas from lymphoma.
Now I've got this horrible feeling that history is going to repeat itself with Toffee. He's five now and in the (almost) four years I've had him he's never had any health problems. But over the last few weeks I've noticed he's been less active than usual and seems to be sleeping much more. He's still eating and pooping normally, hasn't lost weight and gets excited at veggie time (though I haven't seen him popcorn for ages - which he used to do a lot) He obviously wasn't happy during the recent hot weather and didn't seem able to cope with it like he did the last couple of years and I feel guilty that I wasn't able to keep the room as cool as I would have liked. I've just got it into my head that I'm going to lose him very soon and I can't stop worrying.
