Hi there, it's been over a year since I last visited the forum, so I was surprised to see a reply to such an old post. I am doing well, and I hope you are as well. I'm sorry to hear that Buttercup isn't doing well, though. Sending love <3hotglue01 wrote: Fri Dec 19, 2025 8:45 pm Hi there,
I know this is an old post, but first, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Charlie <3 But I'd like to say thank you for documenting this illness. My Buttercup has a swollen stomach, and I just noticed today that he has been peeing a lot more than usual in his sand box. He is around 2.5 years old and I know that this is near the end for him... so this makes me feel at least like there is some comradely in this experience between us.
I hope you are well <3
