[Felvtalk] Harley is in the hospital

[Marsha]

Just came back from visiting with Harley.  Definitely seems to be some 
kind of upper respiratory virus.  The swelling in his larynx seems to be 
better, but now he has some nasal discharge.  I reached for a kleenex, 
and the tech said, "never mind, he just ate it".   He is interested in 
food now, but it's hard for him to eat with the e-collar on, and maybe 
there is some sinus pressure too when he leans forward.  His energy 
level is good, as is his interest in getting into anything he can get 
his paws on (he was allowed out of his cage while I was with him in the 
isolation room).  I had to keep a close eye on him so he didn't scatter 
medical supplies all over the room.  He's staying one more night, and 
I'll take him home tomorrow if all looks good.  Next week I bring him 
back to get another echocardiogram to check his heart.  The followup 
costs less than half what the first one costs, thankfully.

SHE GETS A GOOEY EYE EVER SO OFTEN BUT NOT TOO MUCH AND NEVER HAS HAD A NASAL DISCHARGFE.  i THINK HER IMMUNE SYSTEM IS JUST WEAK ENOUGH TO LET THINGS GET STARTED BUT THEN SHE OVERCOMES THEM.  I JUST KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HER SO I CAN STOP THINGS BEFORE THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO GET HER.
