Odin has left us. We knew he will not make it, but we kept hoping for a miracle. Sadly, heโs now gone from this cruel, heartless worldโa world his pure soul didnโt belong to. Odin was a victim of war. He was left behind under heavy airstrikes in a heavily bombed area. His family didnโt even try to get him out of that dangerous place; they just left him. He was so thin, just skin and bones, showing he had been neglected long before the war began. And on top of that, he had cancer.
Odin fought so hard to live. He had a strong appetite and even went through two blood transfusions. But when he started chemotherapy, everything changed. The chemo affected his kidneys, a common side effect, and his appetite disappeared. He stopped eating from that moment on. We kept hoping that his creatinine level would drop, his kidneys would improve, and his appetite would return. But it didnโt.
Today, we came to see him. We took him out of his cage, brought him out of the hospital, and let him sit under the sun. We placed him on our lap and tried feeding him some tuna, hoping the strong smell might encourage him to eat. At that moment, Odin took his last breath, with a gentle smile on his face. We wish we could have captured this scene in a photo.
We know heโs in a better place now. This harsh world didnโt deserve a dog as kind and amazing as him.
We buried Odin today & just yesterday, we buried Mocha.
We are heartbroken. Our other animals in the hospital are suffering too. Micho is not eating. Mila is doing a bit better; sheโs active and eating, but her blood count is still very low.
Thank you @fehmynaimeh28 for everything you did to Odin, for showing him the meaning of love even for a short period of time. We hope he felt it๐
Thank you @lebaneseveterinaryreferral for providing him with the best medical attentionโฅ๏ธ
Please keep our animals in your thoughts. They need you, and we need your help. We are struggling to care for these innocent creatures who did nothing to deserve this. They didnโt ask for this war, yet they are among those suffering the most.
We need your help now more than ever, so we can continue caring for these helpless animals.
