Sounds like Charlie experienced a burst of energy from the sugar in nutrical. He just isn't use to it and is so light weight that it affects him more. He may just be experiencing light irritation in the throat and the fact that they do have trac problems is more obvious. I use a little spray of Chlorespectic because it numbs the tissue a little and I do it about 3 time per day for about 2 days. If he still has it then it may be more involved. Chad (new name Bodie) is not doing well yesterday and today. He is back with the rattle and congestion is more pronounced. He is on the 4 strenght of antibiotics and of course they are still being administered by injection. He has aspirate pneumonia still and I lay him on the curve of my neck to help him breathe every time he eats. Every meal seems to be both pleasure and torture. The vet added Robtussin to his regiment but he can't keep it down. I am going to try putting it in a bottle with a little can food with some formula to see if that will help. I wrap his eyes to try and mist his nostrils with the saline solution spray. I can't see any difference though. The nebulizer helps but at this stage I am really scared he may not make it. The vet keeps telling me it is not likely but I keep trying and he keeps fighting. Thanks for all the help, advice and prayers. Charlie and Chad have had a very challenging time but both seem to have such a spirit for living. Hope and keeping on it all I guess we can do. |
