Sherman #369 He is gone.

Oh no!!! Poor Sherman! * H U G S / healing energy *

Unless he's allergic to it there is no harm in this suggestion. Try putting him on 1/2 tsp (per 50lbs of body weight) of (cold processed - this part is VERY important) honey, twice per day. (in addition to his medicines of course.) You can either just let him lick it off of something or dilute it in room temp water.

Continue until a week after he stops showing any symptoms of being ill. (Or if he seems to have a bad reaction to it of course. Which would mean that by some odd fluke that he's allergic to it.)

Well, after a brief couple days of feeling better, Sherman started going downhill again the last two days. He's been increasingly lethargic, still not eating, wobbly, & generally out of it.

We took him in again this morning & they did another thorough exam and chest xrays. Sherman has pnemonia! He also is running a fever, in spite of being on antibiotics. They're doing bloodwork too.

The vet added *Clavamox to his list of meds, and we're supposed to "cup" him along his sides to try to dislodge some of the gunk. It was obvious on the xrays there's a lot of congestion. They also suggested putting him in the room when we shower (that'll be a tight squeeze in this place!).

So, my poor Shermie still needs some good thoughts sent his way.
Thanks for your prayers.

Pat & Sherms,
I wanted to let you know I've been reading this thread since it was originally created but have not posted.

I'm so sorry Sherman isn't doing well. Hope the nastiness clears up soon and he's able to enjoy his new home!

{{HUGS}} to you both.

Shermie... Shermie, Shermie, Shermie....
What are we going to do with you young man!!
You need to get better so your mom, dad and Star (and the PT gang) don't worry about you!
Orrr.... maybe that's why you're still sick.. you just want the attention!
j/k

Oh Pat, I'm so sorry he's still sick the poor thing!
All of this since leaving Ohio! He hasn't even been able to really enjoy his new digs over there!

Sierra sends smooches and lovin's to her Shermie-kins and super, duper special get well vibes from us all!
{hugs}

How is Sherman doing now on his new meds? A little better I hope.

I suppose it's just going to take some time. Overall, he's more active than he was, but he's still pretty out of it. He did eat a little last night. I've been steaming him in the bathroom & doing coupage. We can hear it starting to break up, but the poor guy gets coughing really hard & can't stop. Been giving him honey on bread, and a dose of pediatric cough syrup last night because he couldn't stop coughing bloody mucus. (sorry, I know it sounds gross). I got a vaorizer and vicks-type medicine, and set him up in the laundry room this morning. It must have felt good, he fell asleep in there for over two hours. Star has been so good, letting him lie down wherever he wants (he's gone in her space a few times), not bugging him at all.

He went back out into the garage now. I tried to get him to look at me, but this was it. Thanks for asking, I hope to do a more upbeat post soon.

Oh poor Sherman! You poor thing.

Hopefully all the tender loving care and well wishes will get you better soon!

Pneumonia is no fun! I'm so glad to be over it finally. Make sure when you get to feeling better to take it easy for at least an extra week. That P-monia is SNEAKY!!!
