Update on Plumley (formerly another shell wound...) * development

[lvstorts]

Good news and bad on Plumley: he ate some spring mix tonight and 2 hours later is straining to breathe...not sure what to think. I attached a video link to utube.

Thoughts?

Started on antib's and upping his temps. Bright eyed this morning but mouth breathing every 2 or three breaths.

The breathing does not sound good. Good move on upping the temps and starting him on antibiotics. What kind are you using and out of curiosity where are you injecting? I would soak him twice a day while on antibiotics. Are his front legs that thick or are they swollen? Is he using them in normal manner?

Baytril, alternating legs, and his locomotion is normal. His front legs have residual dammage from something, see previous post for pictures, they are healing. I always soak 2-3x per day while they are on antib's.

He ate again this morning!
