I am sorry he is so poorly. Like you said, he was this bad before and recovered, so keep a good thought. He is lucky to have such a dedicated human. Hugs.

Is he on maximum pain meds? I was surprised at how much extra my little Raven can get for a couple days if needed. A gentle heat source under his area may help with discomfort, though you may already do that.
Sending hugs!
He is but they've changed a bit due to the steroids, so he's only having calpol now, this is the first time he's had a really really mega bad episode since only being able to have calpol, Idk if it's as good as old stuff or not, so hard to know.
He's laying on a hot water bottle yea
I'm with him so I'm not worried about him damaging it, but I couldn't find any snuggle safes, but this is warmer anywayThanks x

I have the heat pad you heat in the microwave for a minute or two. My sister made similar ones from a little fabric and uncooked rice. The only drawback is they need to stay dry. Otherwise it lasts a long time
I have no experience with calpol.

Honestly I don't know what I'm doing really, I can just tell when an episode is starting before be stops eating normally so usually I catch it super early and it doesn't get super bad. But I basically just learnt from every time this happens. And we have the medicines on hand for when this happens because he can't wait when it does happen. I remember the first few times I felt so lost because it's kinda like stasis but also not at all like normal stasis.
Yea she had a bowl of them [emoji38][emoji38]

Sending lots more vibes for you, Atticus, and Apricot too.
No, how would I do that? [emoji51]
I stabbed his ear a few times over last couple days, not got high bg, but he doesn't tend to always, sometimes it's low weirdly.
He's passed a little bit, and he's up more but sucking in still but he's accepting foods, I just need him to have his big clear out

Thermometer up his bottom
I wouldn’t bother now though, it sounds as though things are starting to move. Hopefully there will be some big splats in the next 12 hours.
Lots more vibes being sent x
Poor Atticus [emoji38] I'll keep that in mind, but yea I'm hoping for a big clear out now, thanks xx

Thanks I really appreciate that, worst bit is Evelyn has a fever too and cold so she's miserable, I swear everytime she goes to the indoor play groups she gets something horrible, then gives it to us! So just waiting on that now too [emoji38] feel bad for her though she's just been laying in my bed watching TV

It is promising that Atticus passed something and is up again. Well done! Sending vibes for a lot of stinky poos in his future!
Poor Evelyn! I hope she improves quickly. Play groups are like a petri dish of germs. Children do not respect each other's personal space. Hopefully she will catch fewer bugs or get milder symptoms as she is exposed to more germs. It must be so much worse when your own immunity is compromised. Sending you all vibes.

So true, kids are little germ factories haha. Yea supposedly this is normal and will continue at school [emoji38] just annoying coz I get so sick all the time [emoji51]
He actually ran over to me for noms just now [emoji7][emoji7] he's still sucking in and I don't think the full clear out has happened but I think him passing bits is making him more comfortable so that's good. I hope he's over the worst of it now. Ima talk to my vet about additional pain meds I think though, because this one was bad and I don't think calpol was cutting it tbh.
