PRAY FOR LONZIE

[wickedflea]

Grandmother called and said Lonzie Jesus had to go to the vet yesterday cuz he was having trouble breathing, and it turns out he's got an upper respiratory infection. :( I could tell when I was over there at Thanksgiving that something wasn't quite right, because he kept having trouble with his eyes. I wish I'd told my dad to take him to the vet then. :\ But he got a shot and a week's worth of antibiotics, so I hope he's back up to snuff soon. I think we'll both be back in Tuscaloosa full-time in about a month, too. I miss the little bugger!

Absolutely. All our sickos have them -- it's just like when humans get a cold or flu -- chest AND head congestion, complete with sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and the occasional loose poopy. As long as he's getting antibiotics and isn't running around with other animals he should be okay. You should ask the vet to make sure the eye stuff is related just to be on the safe side -- he might prescribe some eye drops but that's mainly just if it's an eye infection.
