Strange behaviour after Injection

[lilspaz68]

His breathing doesn't interfere with anything he does, so in 3 days or so I'll probably put him back on the metacam and theophylline and see what happens... He's old and I got him at 2-ish from living in a tank, so maybe he's just got scars in his lungs?

Oh good *whew*

So its not him living from injection to injection then? You were just trying to improve things over all?

No, munn and I were trying to push the URI back before it got to the point of dreadful no-life eyes. He still eats, sleeps, greets at the cage, puts up a fight for nail trims, not losing any weight... The only thing I don't see him do is drink -- thats why Munn wanted to give 10ml. It's almost like if you had headphones on and couldn't hear the noise, you wouldn't think there were anything wrong with him other than being anti-social. He does do funky fast breathing that's typical with it, but that's all physically.

Is it possible he's drinking more than you think when you're not looking? How does his scruff look when you pinch it? Does it bounce back quickly?
