When I got home from work yesterday evening I discovered Ted looking very unhappy, and he was off his food. I thought he might pick up when the temperature cooled, as it has been so hot this week, but by about 9pm he had got much worse, so he was rushed into the vets.
He was given some metoclop (?) to get his gut moving, and baytril as an antibiotic. He also had had some fluids injected into him as the vet was concerned he was dehydrated, which caused a big bubble to form on his back, which was a little bit funny in all the panic! I then had to syringe feed him recovery formula on our return.
By this morning, he was a bit brighter, but only having a nibble at his food, not eating properly, so we went back to the vet this morning where the injections were repeated.
Tonight he seems much happier, and he is eating again, but he is on baytril for the next few days, and is going back to the vets tomorrow evening for a check-up.
I have been so worried about him, he is my baby! I felt awful leaving him today so I could go to work, I wanted to just phone in sick and stay with him, but the vets bill was to large for me to miss a days pay! Dougal has been a little star looking after Ted! Although he gets so jealous of Ted getting all the fuss!
