Turns out there really was something funny going on with the syringes. The vet tech couldn't get them to work either, so it wasn't something I was doing.That made me feel a bit better. They gave me a new set of doses and things have been going smoothly =) Best news yet, he finally ate! No more bubbles, drool or wheezing, he seems to be getting better with the Fortaz. I'll finish out the whole run of shots to make sure we get all of the infection, but I feel like his sticking his head out to nab that mouse was the turning point. I've never been so excited to see an animal devour another animal before lol! F/T I should mention, I'm not trying to be morbid, but it did feel a bit morbid at the time, how elated I was over this exercise! At any rate, I'm thrilled he seems to be feeling better, and after the last shot I'll move him into the tub I've set up for him and give him that first week all by himself that he didn't get when I first brought him home.
