Total of 10 days in the hospital at this point, with 2 trips home that
lasted only a few hours each. The first trip was the first day, just
brought him home with clavamox. At that point, the nasal part and the
fever hadn't even started yet. Brought him back, and got an NG tube
placed successfully, and he was on Clinicare nutrition for a week to get
him through the worst of it. After a week, I brought him home, and he
was OK for the first hour, but then (after I barely got Azithromycin
into him) he started feeling pretty miserable, so after a few hours, I
brought him back to the hospital.

Harley is still in the hospital, but improving. On Sunday, he groomed
himself a little bit, first time in a week. Two attempts were made
over the weekend to `put an NG tube in. First attempt failed because
they had tried a lighter type sedation, and he fought it. The next day
they tried heavier sedation, got it in, and once back in his cage, he
pulled it out! He had one of the "soft" e-collars on. Thankfully, he
has started eating some kibble. None of the most enticing wet foods
had encouraged him, nor an appetite stimulant, not even a mouse (small
frozen feeder purchased from pet store, and heated). His eyes were
looking better yesterday, but his nose is still congested. Fever is
gone. He gets fluids and some meds through IV. They also have a
steam vaporizer going. Last night, in between pets, he batted at the
roller clamp on the IV line. I am hoping to bring him home tomorrow.
Consistently eating on his own is the key.
