Yafe - Albino Carpet Progression Thread

That's a good sign for sure! I hope someday, many years from now after he has lived a long & great life, you'll look back on all his struggles here & know it was
all worth it.

Nice to hear! Keep the good news coming!

Yafe is getting his nebulizer treatment now. I believe it's his 11th (his last treatment is the 26th of this month - 21 in total).

The past two days, there have been no tongue flicks, and he's still popping. It feels like he's regressed slightly. I feel slightly discouraged, but also know this can normal.

I am not going to make any judgements, or worry, until after the last treatment. I would like to see him doing much better, but I can only do so much and wishing doesn't help.

He does seem better in his movements and interactions. He's calm and composed when I take him out for treatments and holds on confidently, but not overly tight or with quick tight grips like he did when he was struggling to breathe.

I'll keep everyone updated.

Could just be a bad day for him. Best wishes and please do keep the updates coming.

How has he been doing these past couple of days? Hopefully better!

I wish. Not so much.

He's back to wheezing, not just popping.

I am continuing treatment as planned, but I am getting really down.

I called the vet and have an appointment for the 27th, the day after his last nebulizer treatment.

I'll keep everyone up to date.

Zina10, thank you so much for asking.

Aw man, bummer !!

Honestly, Dave. If you take him to the Vet again, why not run that test. It only takes a minute to swab and at least you can rule things out. It seems odd that Yafe is not responding to treatment when his URI wasn't even that advanced to begin with.

Perhaps its just me, but I would like to rule out some issues that tend to cause sickness that doesn't respond to treatment.

That said, I still hope he will finally just turn the corner for you. This has been so stressful on you all, incl. Yafe. You are in my thoughts..


edited to add: Perhaps another culture as well ? Just to see if any of the bacteria (and which) has been eradicated (or not). And what else may be brewing. Might as well, if you do end up taking him...
