Glad the mom is okay, but I would still keep a very close eye on her. Benebac is good - it's available at most pet stores and I have even seen it at Walmart. Did the vet say anything about putting Tiny Tim on amoxidrops? It's actually not common to lose one this old due to internal problems. Since you have kept him going this long I would think maybe a bacterial infection has developed. That isn't very much weight gain though - he must really be a fighter and you must really be doing a good job of caring for him. If he is too weak to eat, tube feeding him is the only chance you have. I'm surprised the vet didn't do this and teach you how while you were there. |
