A quick cup of tea to calm me down before I get the troops out. Yesterday morning Loki wasn't well, by late afternoon his breathing was getting noisier and noisier. His temp shot up to 40 and we were getting more and more concerned. After paracetamol and washing his ears, face and feet in cool water his temp was down to 39.2 by bedtime.
Ken the vet was very concerned by his breathing and felt he was quite poorly. He needed chest and heart x-rays but was too poorly for anaesthetic. I stayed with him "Down ... Wait" really proved it's worth. His heart looked better than it sounded and his chest was clear ... bloods also came back far better than expected with all his organs ok. So Loki has an upper-respiratory infection, he's had an injection and antibiotics tablets ... hell I never expected he'd be coming home today!
