EL-Ziggy,

Katie and I are also hoping Yafe has a long, healthy, and happy life with us! We want that for all our animals. We are completely attached to Yafe now, and already were when we realized he was sick. There was no going back. He was ours at that point, both literally and metaphorically.

We aren't selling the farm yet, but things are definitely looking up! I am optimistic about Yafe making a full recovery for the first time since we got him.

He gets his third injection (of 10) Thursday night (today is Tuesday) and I am hoping the culture results tomorrow show he is on the correct antibiotic. If not, he will probably still get an injection Thursday night, but if might be of another medicine.

He's moving in the right direction at the moment. So relieved.

Assuming no med changes, and he keeps improving, I plan to offer food on Monday night (the night after his 4th injection) so he has two days to digest before his 5th injection on Wednesday night. Worst case, he doesn't eat, but I want him to have some strength to fight the rest of the RI off with the help of the meds. If he eats, even better, and he will really be feeling better and on the road to a full recovery. If not, I'll offer again in a week.

As you know by now, I will keep everyone in the loop.
