2/17/10 Spock

Spock has no infections, More "smears and blood were taken",more test planned in next couple of weeks... They took him off the formula, it was passing right through him [not diarrhea] Main guess is it's internal and his body has stopped excepting nutrients...Jay and Maggie<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/02/17 20:57

It's good news about the infection - but what about the nutrients? Is there something they can do to boost Spock's nutritional state? Are there any vitamin and mineral mixes that can be given to help him out? Fingers crossed they find something to help him. :kiss:

Thanks for keeping us informed on Spock's progress! Spock, you eat your food and hurry up and get well!

[danmcq]

Thats NOT good news Jay.

 

Still sending prayers to you guys and hope for a diagnosis of precisely what the underlying problem is and a solution of treatment.

come on spock buddy....

[Jayd]

Thank you, Spock is given a small dosage of select vitamins and minerals. At a later time I'll post his diet and how it works. Basically, one food he gets reinforces another to bring out the best of both...Jay

Still wishing Spock well, he had been through so much.

 

Spock the BRAVE!

Sweet, dear Spock we are sending such powerful thoughts your way. Keep on fighting to get better. Everytime I log on the first thing I look for is an update on your condition. You are SO loved.

I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through wth your sweet Spock. Do all you can to try and stay strong for him. That is easier said than done but I am sure he is doing things to make you smile every day. You are giving him the best care that anyone ever could. Good luck with him. My prayers are with you.

[kittykittykitty]

Continued prayers for all of you.

Re: the Baytril. Did your vet suggest/ recommend/prescribe a probiotic at the same time? My understanding is if there are not sufficient friendly flora in the bird's gut nutrients are not absorbed effficently. You've probably gone there, done that already.

[Spock]

Very true, Spock's been on a pro-biotic all along, Thanks every one for all the prayers and care...Jay

[Elvenking]

We love Spock!!! My mind to yours, your mind to mine....you will prosper, Spock.

[harmonicaman68]

Jayd ... did the vet take Spock off of the Batril when the blood smear showed no signs of infection? I assume that antibiotic drops would have been stopped.

[Summerc25]

Praying for you guys!!

[Spock]

Thank you, The smear was taken a week after the injections stopped, [ouch] His weight is down this morning to 440 grams and after smash he weights 450 grams, His poop was runny again, his second was ok. We took him off his pellets today, they were the same brand as the formula...Jay

[Spock]

Spock hasn't eaten much today he's back down to 440 grams, we hope he eats shortly, Jay and Maggie..

[judygram]

Spock, you need to eat, please eat some for Jay and Maggie.

[Joolesgreyuk]

Come on Spock you must eat to build your stregnth up otherwise those humans will rule the roost. ;-)

[danmcq]

Hang in there buddy. Plenty of prayers and good karma have been coming to you for many days now and will not stop until this issue is over and your well.

[JillyBeanz]

Come on Spock! I'm sure Jay & Maggie are giving you all the goodies you love!! Come on little man - one day we are going to look back on this and say, Gosh Spock, remember when you had Jay & Maggie and the rest of our family worried over you - you little tinker!
