Chevy - MBD Update, Back to the Vet tomorrow

[chevycham]

I have had a gut instinct today that tells me to take him back to see the Vet. He has gotten better, but at the same time, I don't want to take the chance of something going terribly wrong. I have seen him sit in almost the same spot for more than a few hours. Granted he has moved slightly, and if I get near the cage he will book it, which means he can obviously move, but being still for more than I believe he should be also tells me that its Vet time again. Maybe I can get her to give him an injection to aide him and I also am going to have x-rays taken to make sure there is no further damage.

He is a trooper. I am sure that with maybe a little more push from the Vet, he will be okay.

Also - I haven't seen him drink much water, so I took a syringe (not needle of course) and kind if force fed him water. Not a lot and not shooting water, I kind of made him mad to the point that he opened his mouth and I stick the syringe in there to get water down him. I also noticed that his feces seems to be pretty normal, although his eating today was lowing low.

So with all that being said, Vet in the morning at 8:00am. Ill let ya'll know what happened.

Thanks for all the help!

Glad to hear that he's doing better and I hope he has a good check up at the vets tomorrow. I would not put water in his mouth. They can aspirate very easily. It would be ok to slowly drip the tip of his nose with small drops of water but I wouldn't put it in his mouth.

Okay Thanks! I will just wait till the Vet gives him his once over in the morning.

Sometimes they will just sit in the same spot for hours and that is normal. If the vet says everything is ok, then I would not worry too much.

Yeah I guess just hearing from a Vet in person that he looks okay. Then I will be alright. I watched him drink off the leaves, so he is drinking eating. He also booked it up his branch like his butte was on fire I believe what I am giving him is helping, I just wasn't to know not just think it is. Besides, this way I can have them x-ray him to make sure there are no new fractures.

Ill let everyone know::
