Poor boy, He has an infection. We found an abcess on his rump. And the small bald patches on his feet are also indicative of an infection. She (vet) believes it is a staff infection. (a culture will be grown to determine). In the mean time, he will get clindamycin AND clavamox. And so will his sister.

The vet feels that it is possible this is the reason the other two died. It is very hard on babies, and she told me the outlook is not always good. but that the combination of these two medicines have been known to work.

I'll also need to keep the abcess drained and cleaned.

Poor thing actually weighs 1/2 ounce LESS than he did 3 weeks ago.

So he will be needing big time prayers over the next week or so.
