He's on a sedative so we can hopefully get this little guy all better so he doesn't have to have surgery. It's a shame we can't tell them we are doing these unpleasant things for their own good. But he got a lot of GOOD rest today. His eyes looked so sad and glassy. But now that he's come out of it, he wanted to play and I had to tell him no. He gave me a look that broke my heart but I stood my ground. $12 worth of sedative is a heck of a lot cheaper than $1,200 worth of surgery! Who knows, maybe this will slow him down a little bit permanently (in my dreams!) PLUS mean ole mom has cut his food intake to a total of a 1/2 cup a day and down to 1-2 treats a day. That's what's making him give me the dirty looks I'm sure. LOL But when we got him in December he weiged 8 lbs and he's up to 11. They say that extra pressure can make their LP act up. So keep your fingers and toes crossed that the sedatives keep him calm for the next week and he's back to normal. |
Oh my goodness. Bless his heart. I am sure he does not understand what is going on. Good luck getting him to rest to avoid the surgery. These little babies, if they only could understand why we do what we do to help them feel better. Good luck. 1/2 cup of food sure isnt much is it?
