 Shadow is sick :(
Hello I'm new here. Shadow is my newest furbaby and he's almost 10 weeks and is about 1.5 pounds. I have only had him for 1 week tomorrow. Here is my blog from my myspace account (I'm to lazy to type everything over again)
Shadow had to go to the vet today because he wasn't eating nor drinking and he was sleeping all the time. He had runny poo Thursday night and ate Friday morning and that was the last time. I had to force water down him so he wouldn't get dehydrated and some syrup to keep his blood sugar up. This morning he wouldn't even eat so we took him up to the vet and they kept him for observation. At about 3 I get the phone call that he has Coccidia. He's on an antibiotic and and anti nausia med because of the antibiotic. They are also giving him an energy puppy food to help his energy levels. They said they would call later to give me an update.
So I just got the update and they are going to keep him over night. He's not throwing up or anything but he's acting depressed and he's not wanting to eat on his own but he will eat if hand fed. I will get an update in the morning.
My question is what age will I not have to be so worried about him catching this? |
