chewy
Chewy didn’t want to pose for photos tonight, so this is one from the archives.

Chewy looked really good this morning, but not quite as active tonight. He has a major infection and he is getting antibiotics for it. He is also being tube fed twice a day to make sure he doesn’t lose any more weight. He will go back to the vet in 7 days to have follow-up blood work and see if his infection has improved. All the blood work results were confusing but mostly just mean he has an infection. The baytril he is on should work fine, but we’ll know for sure in 7 days. The really weird result that was super high and abnormal was likely just from contamination when the blood was drawn, and not accurate. The vet was not worried about it.

He is such a sweet guy, I hope he is improving. I think he is. He seemed more of himself tonight, even if he wasn’t very energetic. It might have just been nap time for him. When I brought him inside to tube feed him and give him antibiotics, I let him settle down first. He placed his beak on my arm and closed his eyes and just let me pet him and talk to him for awhile. He seems to know I’m helping him and he is really good about taking his pills and eating his food.

For now he seems strong and alert and hopefully the medication is working. We’ll keep everyone posted when we know more.
