This little boy has not had the best start to life.
I got in yesterday evening and my mum told me to go and check on him cos he was sitting in his litter tray and didn't come to see her when she went in my room.
Me and Mark (my OH) went upstairs and found a smelly, diarrhoea covered Jasper
I phoned my vet and got the emergency cover vets number, called them and rushed him down.
They gave him fluids, and sent him home with some stuff that has Kaolin in it to stop the diarrhoea and I've been syringing Science recovery into him... which is the easiest job ever cos he loves it and laps it up And I've had to stop all other meds that he was having for the snuffles.
Went to my own vet today (pink bunny pram came out again! Luckily I already had an appointment to see about his front teeth, which he had trimmed for the moment) My vet can't work out what caused it but says to carry on with what I'm doing and he should be pretty much back to normal by Friday otherwise I've got to take him back in.
Poor Jasper has only been with me for 3 weeks, and he's only been in this world for 11 weeks and he's already been through so much. I definitely think it was meant to be that Mark and I went in and found these 2 boys, and that I broke my no pet shop rule. I dread to think what would have happened if we hadn't taken them on... or worse still if we'd taken Jasper back to the pet shop instead of getting him treated ourselves.
