My poor baby has been poorly since Monday, luckily we found a very good vet who has treated him and looked after him really well.. Bertie stopped eating Monday on wards~ he was been fed critical care for a few days but yesterday did start eating a little by himself. He spent a few days at the vets because they could give him the care he needed.. He's home today, big improvement and he's eating not aswell as usual but he's nibbling hay, greens etc. The vet is very pleased with his progress, is there anything else we can do for Bert?

Hi Karen, no advice but I hope he continues to improve. I am guessing he is still on meds. Sending him lots of vibes x

I would get the Vet to listen to his chest again on Monday. In my experience it is usually necessary to continue antibiotics for at least 14 days in cases of Pneumonia, sometimes even longer.
I hope Bertie will soon be better xx

:wave: Just tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full. Nothing important just details of a vet I used in Chester if you need it for future reference.
