Red had an up and down day today. He ate a small amount of food in the morning, he wouldn’t eat anything in the evening. I had to force the antibiotics down his throat, and he seems sluggish and warm. Hopefully, the antibiotics will knock down the fever and the infection, we aren’t really sure what’s wrong with him.

This morning, his fever dropped to 102, don’t know what it is tonight.

Best guess is that it is a recurrence of the tick-born infections that caused so much trouble a couple of months ago. Eating is the most important thing for Red now, it is most reliable indicator of healing. Red is still following me from room to room, but is hardly moving otherwise. I guess we’re not out of the woods yet.

I talked with Karen Thompson tonight, the wonderful friend and breeder who gave me  Red, she’s worried about him. That’s tonight’s report, hopefully he will continue his recovery into the morning. Next step is blood work if all else fails.
