Riley RIP

[eagle]

Riley is the smaller of the 21 dumbo boys I took in the beginning of the year. I had rehomed all but 5 and I noticed today he was not doing well. He has no labored breathing, no wheezing or congestion. I started him on cipro this morning.
He has a porphy right eye and currently weights 329g. He appears to have lost some weight.

Peggy thought his nail beds looked darker

Poor sweetie. Lots of kisses to him. Let's cross our fingers for the Cipro.

Check that ear for possible inner ear infection?

He's very very cute!

As of now I don't smell anything in his ears. He shoulder rides very well even while sick.

Sending good thoughts for your sweetie.

He is a bit less puffy today and is eating some cereal with ensure. He doesn't seem interested in food.

Check his teeth, palpate his abdomen for lumps?

Being pouffy, I would think some kind of health stress or pain. How old is he? Any chance you can get something better than cipro? I'd do Baytril.

I got them in January and he was maybe 3 months old then, to he would be around 11 months old now. I do have some baytril so I will switch him to that.

Tail does not seem colder and his feet don't seem any different in color. I check his tummy and I don't feel anything, but I may really not know what I am feeling for. I checked his teeth and from what I can see they seem fine.

Riley passed a way a few minutes ago snuggled next to me. I was able to get a better look at his teeth.
His top teeth were normal, the bottom left the outer edge was black and his bottom right was white.

I am so very sorry Tanis, something must've been wrong inside of him, something you couldn't see. :sad3:

 

[Dahlas]
