cellioBaldur had a dental cleaning on Tuesday. (Aside: I did
not expect retrieval to take an hour and a half even
taking into account the bad weather. Good thing I left
early.) The antibiotics he needs come in liquid form;
getting him to swallow a mouthfull of liquid doesn't work,
but given that he never met food he didn't like, that
isn't so bad. I've been mixing the liquid into some
canned food.
Last night he was very uninterested in the food -- picked at it and then walked away. This is completely out of character. He was also very lethargic (yes, even for him) last night and this morning. And he seems to have had some, err, distress in his lower GI tract. So I didn't give him this morning's dose and called the vet when they opened to confirm that, yes, those symptoms are compatable with that drug. So no more Clindamycin for him right now, and we'll see how he's doing in a day or two.
Poor guy. I hope he's back to his usual only-kind-of-lethargic state soon.
