No unfortunately not, his wound's pretty much the same. He's still miserable when in the cage, no chewing wood or running on his wheel, barely eating anything by himself, hasn't eaten hay in weeks and weeks. Seems unable to use his front teeth to bite anything. Only had teeth done 3 weeks ago so I think he's possibly got permanent damage from the abscess/injury.
I've come home from looking after my nephew and niece and he's not touched a thing, looks like he's barely moved.
He's now been syringe fed for nearly 12 weeks, been on constant pain relief and I've tried pretty much everything so in the next week or two I think I'm going to have to make a big decision.
Don't want to lose him but he's not him. He's maybe happy an hour out of the day, when he's running around out of the cage but the other 23 he's not enjoying life. All the feeds and flushes are incredibly stressful for him now.
And me. It's been a long time and if I'd seen more improvement I wouldn't feel so bad but he's really not getting much better after all the vet trips and meds.
Yep incredibly heartbroken and keep sobbing my heart out to family when I've been debating stuff the last few days but I think it may be for the best now. Can't believe it after all this but he's suffering and bloody unhappy.
He has the odd good day but it's really not that good, just better and I've tried to think positive but known him so long I can tell he's miserable.
Oh Ped
