So glad you decided to go tonight - it sounds like he's really sick. Here's hoping the antibiotics will start working soon. Hang in there Ketchup!

Sending healing vibes to sweet Ketchup.

I know lots of people use towels, but I was warn to steer clear of them, as I've seen lots of blood loss due to towels ripping off tails.
Edit: Also, you can get super cheap fleece from the dollar store. For $2, you get a big blanket big enough to do two pan liners, or four shelf liners, or a pan and two shelves. And if she chews it, oh well, it was cheap.

He's starting to get wobbly when he walks now too, probably weak from lack of food. When he stops panting so much, I will warm him up something... He still drinks though. I also made the discovery that he hates blue gatorade.
I don't know what I can do for him anymore until tomorrow... I am sad.

does he like other flavors of gatorade? gatorade has a lot of salt in it, so maybe he don't like it because of that...
the other week the doctor had me drink nothing but gatorade when I was sick and it actually made me worse and put me in the hospital because I kept throwing it up
but then again a doctor at teh hospital told me water makes you throw up just as bad... but at least it don't have salt in it

Edit:
This is the best picture I could find on Google:
See the loops?

I hear it's excellent for hydration, more so than water, I dunno why. I also saw it suggested around here and there.
I don't have any other gatorade so I can't really test if he likes it. I just chose the blue one 'cause I like it, I figured he would too
