a question 1st ~ *what* shot??? if it's Baytril, you can give it orally + it's just as effective ~ it's one of the few things that there's actually been research/testing on with igs ...

paranoia 2nd ~ if it's Baytril, make sure to inject in the *upper* body, never the back legs ...

dehydration ~
it's not *just* a LACK of fluids/electrolytes ~ it can also be that the body has just been unable to process things correctly or efficiently ... as poorly treated as Adam was and with his total lack of good food/fresh water, etc (!!!) ~ it's just that his body needs more time to recover so all his systems start working again the way they should ...

dehydration does LOTS of bad things to a body ~ and it's veyr possible that his neuro status will improve as his health does!

i REALLY think that the pedialyte prob'ly DID help tremendously!!! it's just that he was an extremely sick baby ~ you aren't dealing with "just" a bit of dehydration here ~ so don't think that the pedialyte was a waste of time or wasn't helping! very possible it helped him actually make it to the vet's!

and NEVER under-estimate the amazing ability of an ig who decides it wants to be healthy + happy!

oooooooooooooh i LOVE good news! *big grin*
i'm glad that it really seems he's got a fighting chance!!!!

i used to have a list of site that'd give you free web space so you can upload pix ... lemme go look for it ...

*head rubs* for Adam and {hugs} for you!!!!
oh ~ and *bobobobbboobbbb* from iZ for you both!

Bon. + iZ
