Update:
He’s doing really well… So well that he’s started biting at the students when they go to give him his medicine (I’m guessing that this is more his normal attitude?) I have him on baytril still (the antibiotic) and he’ll need to be on that until Tuesday and since he’s being such a twirp about it, I don’t think you guys have a snowball’s chance in you know where of getting the Baytril into him, so he’ll have to stay until he can come off that. Once he’s finished that course, as long as he’s still doing well, we’ll send him home on his liver protectants because he’ll eat those on a piece of food. I still don’t know exactly what started the entire thing and we may never know, but as long as he is better, I’ll take it!!!
Email you again on Monday!!!
