C lower than it should be. they put an electric blanket in the oxygen cage with him and then using a hair dryer when needed. i'm going to go see him in a couple hours and i'm praying that the vet will have some hopeful news.  |
Oops, sorry - I missed this post where you're saying he is in an oxygen tent. So, there is no fever? Was a CBC done...if yes, white count elevated?
