Please Say A Pray for Osiris! *UPDATE* He's feeling better now*

[Anikaca77]

Last week on Tuesday I took Osiris into the vets because he was having the runs.

I had his poop tested out at one vet next to where I work for $22 and they saw nothing.

So then on Monday he had and I took him to the vets on Tuesday since he was still having it and he's only about 15 weeks old right now and shouldn't be having this problem.

Anyway, I went ahead and took a poop sample with me to the vets on Tuesday afternoon and they didn't find anything either. They did a float and a smear. They said sometimes you can't see the bacteria so they put him on metronidazole to treat any infection he might have or have had.

Osiris has been on that 5 days now and just yesterday he started to develop a cough and he is still doing it today.

I made a vet appointment for this evening at 5:30 p.m. I'm worried about him. He's still so little.

This is my post when I first mentioned Osiris.

Thank you all for your prays, I stopped by and saw him at lunch and he's still coughing a bit but I'm just going to love on him like crazy tonight and hopefully with my husband's and my love he'll pull through.

I hate keeping him away from the other guys though but it's for his and the other crews good.

Hopefully it's not FIP or anything else that can't be treated. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Well Osiris (we are sticking with that name for now) is doing much better. He 's full of energy and last night I caught him pooping and it's starting to look much better it's not completely firm yet but it's getting there...the other night though it was still really running...so it seems to be bouncing from one to the other..I'm not sure why.

I will have to post some more pictures of him. He's a super cutie..we found out that they think he's older than what we thought he was so that puts him at about 5 months old now. So next month or so we'll have to get him fixed.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that he's feeling much better and I hope that his stools will continue to remain solid.
