Notes:
From owner:
On Tues he was fine until dinner, then he didn't want to eat much, but that wasn't alarming with his G.I. history and he was still eagerly taking treats. Yesterday as we got up to go out first thing he collapsed in the hall. When I saw him start to lose bowel control I pretty much knew it was the end.
Acupuncture points were stimulated
