Milo

Branston's dog, Milo, is at the vet and it sounds like she is not going to make it. She has acute kidney and liver damage, they think she was poisoned. What am I going to tell my child? Does he really need this in his life at the moment? It was his birthday yesterday and he was so excited. Now I have to tell him that there is a good chance that his dog is going to die. Man, life is a bitch!

I am not sure if I should take him to the vet to see her or not. The thing is, last year his sister went off to hospital and he never saw her again. I don't know if that experience should be repeated with the dog. I know a dog is very different to a sister but he is very attached to her. We got her shortly after Kendra died. The vet says that Milo does not look terrible, it is all internal so his last image of her would not be of a sickly looking dog. Should I take him to visit her or shouldn't I? Any advice? I don't know if I will get any answers before the time comes for me to decide but I will let you know the outcome.
