| Harley is sick Hi, I am new here and this morning I am desperatly searching for help. My Harley who I have had for only 7 months is sick. He started with a fever and got worse. To make a long story short the [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]vet[/COLOR][/COLOR] has had him 4 nights with an IV in him. Cant do a complete blood workup on him to find out if he has a [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]liver[/COLOR][/COLOR] shunt but preliminary tests indicate he might. Too small to take that much blood right now. Now he has what i would call ticks, [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]neurological[/COLOR][/COLOR], almost like a hickup. Vet does not think they are [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]seizures[/COLOR][/COLOR]. He had put him on metrozonidale and two other [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]meds[/COLOR][/COLOR] for his fever and is thinking it may be a reaction and not the liver shunt. We will get him back today and vet says he is a little better, not much, not eating. Vet wants us to take him to the University of K-State Vet College on Monday. This is going to get expensive and I know my husband will not be savy with it. Any suggestions? By the way he is only 3 lbs 2 oz and probably not even that now =( |

| I am sorry your baby is sick. I hope you can find a way to follow your vet's recommendation in seeing the vet he is referring you to. It sounds like he really needs it.
