Things aren't looking better this morning. Jim's breathing sounds much worse...I actually gave him a dose of aminophylline about two hours ago, but I don't think it helped at all.
I moved him into the "hospital cage" in my bedroom so that I could better monitor what he eats and how he's pooping...it looked like he might have had some diarrhea last night, but it's hard to tell who does what in a community cage.
He's curled up in his nest ball now, but his fur is sticking up, and his chest is heaving. My poor old man. I feel so useless, not being able to make him better.

Posted by: Eanna at March 5, 2006 10:46 AMWe have a 1:30 appointment at the emergency vet...his breathing is just going downhill by the minute. I'm not sure if there's anything they can do to make him comfortable, but the poor guy is obviously not right now. Cross your fingers.
