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

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

Lack of fever, eating a little is good, and playing with the roller clamp are all good signs. I hope he continues to improve (and eat some) and that he can come home in time for the holiday to recover with you. On Dec 23, 2014, at 1:45 PM, Marsha mar...@lynxe.com wrote: Total of 10 days in

HOPE HE CAN COME HOME TO STAY SOON. IT IS HARD ON YOU AND EVEN HARDER ON HIM. I SOMETIMES THINK THAT BEING AWAY FROM THEIR HOME AND NOT KNOWING IF THEY WILL EVER GO BACK HOME MUST MAKE MATTERS WORSE . IS IT POSSIBLE YOU COULD ISOLATE HIM IN A CAGE, HE WOULD BE SICK, BUT AT LEAST HE WILL BE

THIS SOUNDS LIKE MY HARLEY. IF HE DOES NOT WANT IT, YOU MAY AS WELL GIVE UP. HE IS SO HARD HEADED PLUS ORDER A UNIT OR TWO OF BLOOD FOR YOURSELF. Marsha mar...@lynxe.com wrote: Harley is still in the hospital, but improving. On Sunday, he groomed himself a little bit, first time in

He was looking good tonight, and I plan on taking Harley home tomorrow (Christmas Eve). I just want to get some things set up first. I got a humidity meter and vaporizer, and I want to make sure I'm getting a good enough percent of humidity. I also need to look at everything from Harley's

Harley is back in the hospital, where he has been for almost all of this week. Too much nasal discharge to get an NG tube back in at this time. I wish I hadn't taken him home last night. How do I know when he's getting over the hump? I don't want to keep pushing him and letting him get

I think he will let you know when he is tired of fighting. It is hard trying to make a decision like this. I have gone thru it with my mother, father and several cats. Never gets any easier. Let Harley and God be your guides. Marsha mar...@lynxe.com wrote: Harley is back in the
