Just a small update on Jules:

Vet appointment has been pushed back a day, so I'm just monitoring him at home.

I moved him back into the warm budgie room and I think it's already made a difference! He's actively moving about his cage and flicking his tongue. He's also got his eye on the budgies, which should be alarming but it's making me think that he's hungry and will accept a live rat when I bring him one!

He's still showing no signs of RI, but still weaker than usual when I lift with one finger. I'm going to try to leave him alone for the rest of the day because he doesn't need the extra stress of being prodded constantly. I'm feeling very optimistic and hopeful for my baby's recovery now! He still needs a vet visit though, because if it is an RI, I'd rather catch it and cure it than lose him. I think the bulk of the issue on this occasion was a cold room and a cold heating pad and my thermometer flaking out...
