HOPE HE CAN COME HOME TO STAY SOON.  IT IS HARD ON YOU AND EVEN HARDER ON HIM.  I SOMETIMES THINK THAT BEING AWAY FROM THEIR HOME AND NOT KNOWING IF THEY WILL EVER GO BACK HOME MUST MAKE MATTERS WORSE .  IS IT POSSIBLE YOU COULD ISOLATE HIM IN A CAGE, HE WOULD BE SICK, 
 BUT AT LEAST HE WILL BE HOME.  WILL KEEP HIM IN MY PRAYERS AND YOU TOO.

At that point, the nasal part and the fever hadn't even started yet.  Brought him back, and got an NG tube placed successfully, and he was on Clinicare nutrition for a week to get him through the worst of it.  After a week, I brought him home, and he was OK for the first hour, but then (after I barely got Azithromycin into him) he started feeling pretty miserable, so after a few hours, I brought him back to the hospital.

First attempt failed because they had tried a lighter type sedation, and he fought it. The next day they tried heavier sedation, got it in, and once back in his cage, he pulled it out! He had one of the "soft" e-collars on.  Thankfully, he has started eating some kibble.  None of the most enticing wet foods had encouraged him, nor an appetite stimulant, not even a mouse (small frozen feeder purchased from pet store, and heated).  His eyes were looking better yesterday, but his nose is still congested. Fever is gone.  He gets fluids and some meds through IV.  They also have a steam vaporizer going.  Last night, in between pets, he batted at the roller clamp on the IV line.  I am hoping to bring him home tomorrow. Consistently eating on his own is the key.
