Hi everyone.
Well, our vet thinks that he became toxic from the buildup of the drug in his system. By the time we took him to the vet, he had gotten worse. He just wanted to sleep. They gave him dextrose and lactaded ringers solution, orally and in a subcutaneous injection. Here's his treatment plan:
1.5 ml dextrose orally over the course of the day
1.5 ml amoxicillin twice a day.
20 ml lactated ringers solution by mouth per day over the course of the day
A solution of 1/2 cup of baby oatmeal mixed with nutri-cal and with warm water over the course of the day, 20-40 ml.
Now he is extremely weak (he can barely hold up his head), but he can still swallow. If he can't swallow, I'll have to inject him.
They took his temperature. It was 97 Fahrenheit! Normal adult body temperature is 103-104. I think it is up a little now, but I'm not sure.
