Friday night Tito update~
The last two days have been a downward spiral for our little guy. 😢 Today, he went back to the vet. As of right now, they don’t feel he has coccidiosis, as he’s very young for that and not around any other animals that have it, plus his bloody stools aren’t the “typical” coccidiosis scours.
At this point, she feels it’s more neurological and feels he may have some swelling on the brain, which would cause him to be lethargic, balance issues, tilting head, etc. (All of the issues that just surfaced).
So, he received a little haircut and several shots at the vet (steroids, vitamins, antibiotics) and an IV of meds at the vet, too. She sent us home with 3 more doses of meds to give him every 12 hours.
She was honest, and we appreciate that, but he’s at a 50/50 shot of recovering from this. She said we will know quickly, if he’s going to improve or if he’ll keep declining.
Since Momma has shown less interest the last two days, we have moved Tito to a new area, with easier access for us, fresh straw, less draft and his nice warm heat lamp on him to help him stay toasty warm. He is still eating, and drains his bottles quickly now. We just need him to get his balance back and start using his little legs again.
You know what he needs, so send little Tito those good vibes and help him get over this hump. 🫶🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for loving on our little guy as much as we do!
