Afternoon nap with the patient

Sterling gave up his usual hideout to stay with a still sick Willow for the afternoon nap.

 

Willow is sick: Day 7

 

Willow had a second visit with the vet today for a checkup. The doctor says Willow is recovering well. I've also removed the barrier so Sterling and Willow can be together again.

Also, Willow is able to sit up for short intervals now!

Out of the litter box

Willow moved out of her litter box on her own today. Her belly was damp from sitting in the litter box all the time. I gave her a sponge bath to clean her underside and then placed a dry towel underneath her.

 

Willow sick: Day 3

Willow looks better today. She is able to hold her head up. I even saw her nibbled on some hay. But she is still very weak and can't even sit up.

 

Warming Willow

Willow seem to have a low body temperature. So I wrapped her up in a towel and held her on my laps this afternoon.

 

Willow resting

Willow isn't moving much. At least she is eating when I feed her this morning and afternoon.

Update 3:47pm: The vet called and said preliminary results show that Willow has an infection. I'm to continue with antibiotic Baytril medication.

Willow is sick

I took Willow to the vet today. The doctor haven't figured out what's wrong with her yet. (Update: It turns out from the lab work that Willow has E. Cuniculi. She has full recovered after the medicine after a few weeks) We'll get the lab results hopefully tomorrow.

As you can see from the picture, Willow keeps tucking in her chin and curl up. It's not a head tilt, that we know.
