Off to the vets in the morning.

First topic message reminder :

Well we are going to the vets at 9 tomorrow morning as harvey really isn't well, he's been quiet for a couple of days, still eating and drinking and what not. But today he's really poorly, he has a huge swelling under his month where it meets his throat and he is drooling loads, he's still managing to eat and drink just he's also really depressed and is just sleeping all the time.

I've tried looking in his mouth but he just wimpers and i can't see anything for all the saliva there I really hope it's nothing serious but at least he's only got to wait until the morning

haha thanks

If he seems back o his usual self, and is weeing and pooping normally and eating normally, I'd put him back on his usual diet. But then it all depends on the abcess cos you dont want any bones to irritate it.

I'd probably stick to what he's eating at present if it's enough to sustain his appetite and he's 1/2 to 3/4 at his normal energy level. Once he starts picking up and his energy levels increase, then you will need need to monitor his diet.

hmmm he seems back to his normal self and that so i think in a couple of days when the antibiotics have had a couple of days to work i'll try him on a couple of things and see how he goes.
