good news for Erik

[cellio]

My vet wanted to rerun some blood tests now that Erik has mostly recovered from his recent bout of crud. Good news the first: his temperature tonight was 100.3 (a full 3.5 degrees down from a week ago). The antibiotics definitely seem to have helped.

Good news the second: tonight he weighted 7 pounds, 8 ounces -- yes, a full 7 and a half pounds! It's been a long time since he weighed that much. (He's up 4 ounces from last week, though last week he went in on an empty stomach so I don't think he really gained 4 ounces in a week.)

I'm glad things are going better.

Having a parakeet go from 25 grams to 30 grams is a similar thril.
