Spike has been sick for the past week. It started last Thursday, he refused to eat.. Watering eyes runny nose. Little movement, labored breathing and no interest in food. The entire weekend I spent nursing him back to health. Force feeding he willingly took the food.
And I stuck vitamins in it too.
By Sunday he was doing ALOT better. Monday he was eating tons of lettuce. strawberries, bananas everything. But yesterday he went back to his "state". He's laying there limp. I am trying to feed him as we speak although it is very little he IS eating again (force/hand fed).
I was thinking of getting some unsweetened cranberry juice and diluting it for him. But I do not know what to do. We do not have any Vet's near us it's probably a 30-45 minute drive and atm no car.
I am so scared and feel almost helpless at this time. I really REALLY don't want him to pass. I did make the mistake of buying him from a pet store and I am now truly regretting it. The poor guy! Am I doing everything right? Is there anything more I could possibly do for him?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. And please if your reading this keep spike in your thoughts.
