Thanks for those suggestions Mary. I don't rub his belly. He doesn't like his ears touched either! I can wiggle my fingers on his head for a minute or rub my hand down his back a couple of times while he is walking around or when he jumps up to see me on the couch. I've thought about the medicine. I just have no idea how I would get it in him. Plus, I would rather him find his own home with someone that can make him happy than to medicate him. He deserves that. Plus, I'd almost have to medicate Aroara also at this point, I'm afraid. I don't have an issue with giving them medicine. It's just that with all the other issues, I'm not sure if that is the best option. I will ask the vet's office and the rescue organization for what their thoughts are on dealing with this.
