Dexter Regurgitated Rats Twice This Month

[zina10]

Yeah... $16.00 (including shipping) isn't that bad, anyway, I guess... I was expecting to see $50.00 or something... lol I'm just going to have to figure out how much i'll need to put in his water for the next few weeks while he is off food, though. A syringe with water would definitely be best way to give it to him, but I don't know if i'll be able to do it. The last thing I would want to do (besides get bitten... lol) is stress him out or jeopardize any of the trust that i've established with him. He has always been a total sweetheart since day one other than a couple isolated incidents...

I wouldn't syringe him. At this point that would just cause more stress then it would be worth it. When they panic, they can fight quite hard! Treatments like this should be last resort..

Just use a smaller water dish, so you can frequently refresh it, you can also make sure he actually drinks it by keeping and eye on the water level. If he doesn't seem to drink it, I would also offer regular water. You want to make sure he keeps drinking, even if its just plain water.

I think he will be fine, you are very caring and on top of what should be done. Correct husbandry and a good long rest from eating and handling is the main thing for now. After that, take it slow and easy for a bit.

Listen to Kara, I believe she is the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Bloods and I would trust her implicitly with any advice she has regarding their care and recovery.
