Continuation of the "Commission and my dog"
3 years ago
Sooo... What happened and why I disappeared for a whole month. I'll try to be briefly, tomorrow I'll attach a shopping list (I haven't formed it into a table yet, I'll fix it).
About 10 days after the start of treatment, we went to the vet to hear the good news and continue the treatment, but there was only bad news:
Sam has an acute chronic (true) allergy (I'm not sure I was able to correctly name the term). This means that she has been with him since birth. There are have two types of such allergies:
- the first type needs to keep the dog on a diet (hypoallergenic food),
- the second type requires not only a diet, but + it is necessary to give strong tablets daily, 1 time in 2 months it is necessary to treat ear allergic otitis, 1 time in 1 month, drip the drops into the eyes (this allows us to remove the swelling and some of the itching).
What is the problem:
1) Sam weighs 15kg, his weight requires 0.5 tablets per day. But only a dose of 1 tablet a day helps him. Given a dose of 0.5 tablets, his liver will эcease to function in 3-5 years (vet's prognosis);
2) Food is brought from Italy;
3) Of course, it is quite expensive, but this is the smallest problem.
The vet advised the dog to be euthanized. I thought about it for 1,5 weeks. I didn't paint all this time 'cause I couldn't bring myself to do anything other than cry into my pillow. As a result, I came to the conclusion that I don't have enough strength, courage and conscience to put to sleep the only creature, who sincerely loves me, and for whom I'm the only thing he has. This is selfish. I'm selfish 'cause I'll wait for the first signs of liver failure before bringing the dog in, and letting him sleep for the last time. But this way I'll be sure that I definitely did everything that was in my power.
!About deadlines! I had 4 arts ready (3 full body for the Platinum Unicorn and an illustration for the Cubic Lugion) by August 3rd. But I could not find the strength in time to bring these works for editing. As of August 17th, I had 50% of the illustrations for Clostridium, Platinum Unicorn and a detailed sketch for Siriadlerius. I didn't get all the references from J.A.E.G.E.R. During tomorrow I'll write to all of you with finished works (for edits)/WIPs/questions about information.
Thank you all for your support and waiting. I don’t know why you didn’t write to me with the question: “Tito, the deadline is today, where is my art?!”, but I'm grateful to you for your help and the opportunity (for me) to bounce back and sit down to work with restored nerves and peace of mind.
Thank you for reading to the end and I apologize for the mood spoiled by the burnt deadline.
P.s. Yes, Sam is just a dog. In the world, many animals and people die every day. And I sincerely feel sorry for them, because they were also part of someone's life... Sam is the only one for me who is always there and I love him, so I'm very mired in emotions.
