If you had not questioned that, I would have let what the vets said steer me and never have realized it in time to save his little life. Thank you so much. I did not think it possible but it made me take another look. Thank you and Chad thanks you. I am going to get some video on him as soon as I am feeling a little more human and less exhausted. I have been working 3 to 4 hour feeding intervals and 2 hours intervals first 3 weeks since he was born. I have been to the vet more times than I can possible remember at this point and have prodded that little guy with numerous injections. Yet, he still comes to me with the most trusting look full of love no matter how horrible he has felt. Now, he looks significantly better. He is not out of the woods but we can now see a way to salvation! Thanks, thanks, and thanks again. |

I am okay now I think. I am so glad this is not Megaesophalgus and I think it is only a moderate palate problem. If I can get him over the pneumonia I think he will be okay and WOW does he look better both yesterday and today. I think we need to tell vets that if they are our long counted on trusted doctors that they are not allowed to have health problems, vacations, retirement or even think of entering their senior years because we relie on them way too much for such trival life events.....................
