I've been sick and getting sicker... Tuesday I went to the vet and was diagnosed with Kennel Cough. Well it's only been getting worse. Today I refused to eat and drink water. Well that only led to me feeling worse... I started coughing and then I'd throw up. I wouldn't quit shaking/tremmoring. I was not happy. I refused to play or even get out of my cage.
The family took me to an after hours pet hospital because they were worried about me. I was diagnosed with pneumonia (just starting) and was given a different antibiotic. They even put a water bubble underneath my skin so I would be hydrated... When I got home I was bouncing around, playing like I've never played before and sooo happy!! I'm sleeping now.
The vet wants me to be fed 6 times a day for the next few days, then 4 times a day for a few weeks...
I like A/D formula canned food... Mommy is going to have to buy that for me as my food for a while. Yay! I'm feeling better.
Guess I just needed hydration and some food.
Dang vet bills. Oh well, we'll get over it.

Update: Aww I was constipated! Mommy had to pull the last bit of poopy out of my bum... Hopefully now I'll start feeling much better. And perhaps I'll start to eat!
UPDATE: I had a siezure. It lasted about 5 seconds. Happened about 2am. I was then fed baby food via syringe. About a teaspoon full after heating it up a tiny bit.
I'm getting more active now that I'm feeling better. I've peed twice since the siezure. I'm up and playing around now in my enclosure. Godmommy is staying up with me to make sure I'm ok. She is going to feed me baby food every two hours.
Wish me luck.
