He is doing fine. He didn't enjoy his stomach wash last night so would not come out of his shell for any further tests. However, after some persuasion they managed it all. The initial x-ray showed gas build up in his stomach so they were worried of a blockage; they fed him with an indicator fluid and xrayed him again after two hours and everything is moving freely inside (which is good!). Bloods and stomach contents are tested today and results tomorrow hopefully. The bacteria takes a few days to grow from stromach wash contents.
Ive met John Chitty a few years ago. Very nice man. Ashton at Anton vets has been dealing with Timmy. I must say that she has been an absolute star. Has kept me up to date with any changes and really sounds like she knows what to do! Full trust in that lady, I must say. She was fully aware of Baytrill with leopards and preferred using an injection style antibiotics as it doesn't rely on the tort having to feed by itself.
