Mo-
I'll keep praying that you will have many good days with Morgan. If you ever need to talk or anything, just let me know.
Take care of yourself so you can take care of Morgan. Hugs & prays,

Thanks for asking about my babe.
He is doing well today. He's been eating and drinking. Although, I do wish he would drink more. Today is the last day of his antibiotics. He will let me rub his chin and cheeks, but he won't let me look at his gums. When I give him the medicine, I can tell that the roof of his mouth is a bit red. The transfer factor didn't go well this morning. I'll try again before bed. I may try to get one in every other day.
I have a dilemma though. I was supposed to be going to Disney World this Thursday through next Monday. I don't think that I can leave him. It helps that he is doing well, but I think that I would be a wreck thinking about him. I could only go if my sister would be able to come and stay with him for me. He loves her. So, we'll see.
Thanks again for asking about him. He appreciates all the loves being delivered.
ETA: We got the transfer factor in him tonight! He DID NOT like it. Afterward he went and hid on a shelf behind a chair. I took a picture of him that I'll try to upload and put on here. He was not happy with me. At least that was the last antibiotic for now.

I am sorry to hear Morgan doesn't like his medication. It's always worrying whether you freak them out with the treatment even more
Sorry for your weekend. I had a party planned last Saturday (for 2 months) which I cancelled on Wednesday- but I am glad I did it as I could not have enjoyed the preparations. Tigris always was a wonderful party host
Good luck for Morgan. I never knew exactly what it meant when they said "He'll tell you" but I know think I understand it better.
My sister said she would be available to come and stay with Morgan this weekend. I just don't think I would be able to stand being away from him for 5 days. I go crazy just being gone during the daytime. He is also very happy to see me come home. He always comes over and makes sure to sit with me for quite a while. I don't think I'll be going to Florida. Who knows if we could make it through Atlanta to get there anyway.
In other news, I stopped at Walgreens in the next town north of me and asked if they could compound the transfer factor. I wasn't able to find any in my small town that would. She said that they do compound and took down the specifics about the ingredients. She said she would have to call someone to make sure they could be compounded into a liquid form and would let me know tomorrow. The only problem is that the pharmacy is 40 minutes away. So I will have to drive back over there tomorrow if she can do it. Anything for my baby though.![]()
Great news about the compounding!
I wonder...can the capsule be opened and some of the powder mixed in to good stinky wet food twice a day or something?
Bless your sister! I hope you have a good time.![]()

Tried it and that was a definite NO from Morgan. Aroara came up afterward and gobbled the food, so at least it wasn't wasted.I tried mixing it in pill pockets, chicken broth, wet food. The only way I was getting any in him was to mix it with water and use a syringe. Half of that ended up on the floor. Hopefully the compounding will be easier. I asked if she could make it fishy or taste like chicken. We'll see how it goes. I have a feeling he still won't like it. But he doesn't have to have any other medicines at the moment. Hopefully I can get one dosage in him once a day or at least every other day.
