The bite did not abscess. He never had anemia.
He has to be put under for an ultrasound. You can hardly touch his
sides/stomach without being bitten. He has always been that way & I have been
asking for an ultrasound eve since I got him, but the lady who brought him to
me was in the hospital, so we are just getting around to it now.
I really thought I was ready to let him go this morning. He was very restless
last night. But I'm thinking that may have been the cypro I gave him.
I have not seen improvement in 2 weeks & I really think we will let him go
tomorrow.
