 Update
There is a new twist to the Baron saga.
I noticed a few days ago that the hair on his rear end and the underside of his tail was basically non existant. But, i thought maybe it was from all the icky poo he'd had.
Anyway, yesterday, I noticed he had a thin patch of hair on his back. I checked him over, and he was missing hair on both his front paws and the back of his ears. The spots were fairly small, and his hair is so thick that the only way to see it was by fluffing the hair up and looking really hard.
Anwyay, I got him to the vet as soon as I could today - FUNGAL INFECTION! Apparently caused by the antibiotics and his weakened immune system. The vet said it's like any of us getting a yeast infection after antibiotics. Lovely.
Since he is so small and his liver is not fully developed, no pills - I have to give him sulfur baths! It smells like rotten eggs! my whole houes stinks today. haha ANd, I didn't completely read the bottle before using it, and I totally ruined my wedding ring (it was stained like a weird gold color, but now it's like a dark silver color, very weird).
ANyway, i thought I would let everyone know.
But, Baron is doing great otherwise, no itching or anything like that, and the vet says his hair will grow back in about 3 weeks. : )
And, he may have a new mommy soon! Once he gets better and I'm sure he is okay, there is a lady waiting for him! |
