Monkey noises
Schwartz is now making the infamous "monkey noises" that signal an upper respiratory infection. (By "monkey noise" I mean just that...imagine a kid saying "ee ooh ahh" and pretending to be a chimp or something...that's what it sounds like.) When I got home from running errands last night I heard it for the first time, and she also had a fair amount of porphyrin around her nose. Of course this happens on a Saturday night.
I still had Baytril left from Curly's last URI as well as some Gentamicin, so I went ahead and started her on the antibiotics. She's still noisy, but none of the other critical signs, like ungroomed fur or lethergy. I'll call the vet first thing tomorrow and hope they can see her quickly.
I'm not even sure if she realizes she's sick...she's certainly annoyed by the extra attention, although she enjoys the creme de coconut I use to hide the Baytril. Poor berkblob.
