Herschel got sick last week. Had high fever and after tests the vet said he had a sloightly elevated level aof crytals in his system. He said it was dehydration and might even be stones but would have to do a further exam to be sure. He said to watch him for the next week and if he improves then probably won't need to test further. I thought about the dehydration issue so I went to Rite Aide and bought a medicine dropper. I am giving him three tbls of water every two hours. He seems much im[roved and is hungry, pissing regularily, poop is fine and playhing tug of war with me like usual. I would go to Rite Aide and get the medicine dropper. It is a two piece package. A medicine dropper for liquids and a medicine scoop for dry ingredients. It was about $2.75. Hope that helps. I didn't realize that he wasn't drinking enough water. Although I just read a post under the recipe forum about chicken contributing to this crytaline issue. |
