The emergency vet kept him over Sunday night too, then he had to leave, since they close during the day on weekdays. The vet thought that he'd be OK at home with monitoring by me. Now they think that it is an intestinal infection, since he contracted bloody diarrhea and is still spotting pure blood. The vet says this should end within 12 hours. He seems very bright and alert, but the poor baby is having little poops everywhere. Right now I have him in the bathroom with rugs and towels and his basket, sandbox, food and water. He REALLY wants to get out of there. The trouble is, he's ex-feral, and very shy about handling, so it's very difficult to fool with him sometimes, especially when he's wigged out. I will have to give him antibiotics by syringe, too!! He has let me wipe his little bottom and pick him up and carry him when I must, bless him.

He's always been my healthy one--my other three all have chronic stuff like asthma and food allergies. I never thought it would be my Billie that would get so sick. The good thing is that he's so much brighter and more active than he was on Saturday. I am beginning to think we might not lose him after all. I'm just like my dad, I can only imagine worst case scenarios when these things happen. Just a raging pessimist, I guess.

Thank you and bless you for your good wishes. It helps so much in troubles like this!
