Fagan- still not out of the woods







Fagan saw Dr.Fijas on Saturday morning, I called to get him in as soon as they opened on Saturday. He gave Fagan a gut motility injection to start up his gut to take in food and make poops again. I am also following up with a gut motility drug in pill form every 12 hours. Dr.Fijas also discovered that Fagan has long, sharp molars that will need working on, but he wasn't sure if that was the source of his sudden lack of eating and pooping. He also wants me to force feed him critical care ( a mushy food that is high in nutrients for sick/thin, etc herbivores) but he isn't taking the critical care very well for me, he lets it drip and fall out of his mouth and doesn't eat much of it. He's eating very little and pooping very little. He still isn't doing well. He is seeing Dr.t today at 4:30, that was his original appointment just to look at his watery eye. Now I am wondering if his watery eye is a result of his molar problems. I feel he will be going under to have those teeth trimmed down ASAP, it is apparent that is the problem.




Also seeing Dr.T today is Old Man Butterscotch to make sure that his abscess in his mouth healed up well. And Sweetie the rabbit, she has had some Bald patches form after a heavy shed.




We had some adoptions yesterday :) Buttercup, our sweet , deformed bunny is now home, and also Melody. And Leroy the Russian Tortoise, who was rescued from a busy road.




I will leave pictures of the newly adopted pets, Buttercup (brown lop with deformed back leg) Melody ( black and white Dutch) and Leroy
