Well today has been frustrating! Getting the little syringe in his mouth is near impossible. I know I got at least two squirts of food in him today. Tomorrow I pick up the oral antibiotic. I have no idea how in the world I'm going to get that in. He soaked this evening, and after the drama...
Yes she gave him Baytril. He literally was drinking last night for 30 min. I soaked him a little this morning. I will get him tonight and give him a nice warm soak.
This morning I tried to feed him with a syringe. I got two little squirts in and then he "Clammed up" and I could not get to...
Thank you for the info! I did watch the videos. It does not look too difficult. I'm hoping he recovers fast so that I don't have to stress him out. I will feed him in the morning and let you know how it went.
I will have to try that. He has not taken anything from my hand yet. I just went out there and he was still drinking. So I will continue to monitor his water levels in the bowl. He obviously is really thirsty.
We live in Texas and the temp won't go under under 80. We run A/C in the house on 75 so she said to leave him outside as long as he is very secure. As you can see the cage is buried in the ground. If you look closely I caught him drinking water. That was a very good sign. I will feed him...
Well speedy is home now and in his new reinforced outdoor enclosure. The vet said to keep him outside if at all possible. The heat and air will help him tremendously. She said he had a little fluid in his lungs so she said the direct sun will really help clear that up. She was not sure if...
Thanks for all of your prayers. I dropped Speedy off at the vet this morning at 8:00 A.M. And the reptile specialist was not going to be able to be there until 1:00. So I left him there. I just called and they said that he is doing better. They gave the little guy a shot of Baytril which is...
I am taking him in the morning. I soaked him and gave him some greens and he has not moved. He is still alert. I will leave the lamps on to keep him warm. I already sent my vet a text telling him I'll be there in the morning. He said he can get him some nutrition and fluids and get him an...
Well out little guy took a turn for the worst. He is laying around, has not eaten in two days. I soak him and he won't hold his head up. I don't know he is not well. Trama was too much I guess!
That's what I need to do is fence off an area. At this point I'm a little worried about him being outside. I may wait till he can't fit in a dogs mouth!
