Boris Has A Uri

So, a happy update! I did call the vet and ask about the diuretic, he said to give him 0.2mls twice a day, and the sloshing has started to lessen. It can vary day to day but overall it is much better (can't hear it when he jumps for example). He took a bit of a turn (lethargic with horrendous runny poo) for a few days but I knew that was due to the AB's as he was fine prior to them, even with the heart problems.

So he was on them for a week as a precaution after DCM diagnosis (as his bloods showed slightly elevated WBC count so it was better to be safe than sorry), and he has been off of them since Friday, and his poo is firming up by the day.

He's maintaining around 800g and I'm lessening the syringe feed now he is off the AB's, as they were really messing with his appetite.

Seems to really be on the up now, hopefully he starts to gain some weight back as he feels very skinny!

Also @Adelle I was writing this update as you posted! How strange! :P

Thats all very positive! I'm happy hes doing well xx
 
Boris continues to do very well, we're having the odd stumble with soft poo which makes him very glum indeed, but overall he's getting there. Still very low weight compared to his pre-antibiotic weight, but it's steady and will hopefully start climbing! He's on Fibreplex X2 a day to get his poo staying firm, hopefully can wean him off soon :)
