Just a quick update - Pootle came home last night after being in the vets for about two weeks. Her scabs have fallen off, her breathing is better and she is eating.
I have to take her back tomorrow evening to be weighed to check she is holding her weight well and eating enough by herself. I am also still giving her metacam orally and also have to inject her once a day with antibiotics.
First injection this morning - went well (Phew!)
