Hello! My dear buddy Echo had a severe double eye infection and was put on antibiotics. The dose was injectables 4-6 times a day for a week in the pectoral muscle. He seemed to grow more and more sore with the injections, but his eyes and behavior did grow better...
BUT.
Now he can only hobble around on his legs flat, and even then he's very off balance. The illness did have him lose lots of muscle, but he's on the mend and more or less acting normal. I put him on vitamins and have been giving him a high protein feed along with seeds and quinoa, and a special meal with all his amino acids. He has a heat lamp too. I just want to know what this possibly could be, and more, if he can recover from it. Other than this, he's acting like his usual self again. He WANTS to walk, he eats, he drinks, but he just can't seem to stand up.
