her dose oif flagyl was so small I actually compounded the med into a flavored liquid for her- she stikll hates it, but its only for 5 days, so we're already almost done. and her fever is still down today- so its official we won!!!
on the other hand Val is worse, started the dex injection today and I'm going to give him sq fluids, other than that I've just been trying to get him to eat, he won't even lick tuna juice and I've tried all the mixes i've read about on here before so...I had a talk with him this morning and let him know that whenever he is ready its ok, i think its soon. I wish he would fall asleep here with his borthers and sisiters, it would be so nice for him, they love him so much and one in particular is so attached to him I concerned for her after, she has the others though so hopefully she'll understand. sadly, Kristi > > From: "Brenda K.
