That's amazing thank you so much!Hello!
No problem at all, I do ship to the UK so if you ever need anything the shipping is relatively fast
most of the time.
I am sure he doesn't like the Baytril, it is very bitter. Did they not flavor it at all for him? It may
affect his appetite some also. If you can get some organic dairy free acidophiliz or non dairy organic
soy yogurt to help with his gut health give that a try for his appetite.
Be sure to try & keep him a little warmer overnight too just to help boost his immune system right now.
Let us know how he is doing.

It was just black in the afternoon but since the baytril he's constantly black beardingHello,
We are all pulling for little Ernie.
Do you mean his beard is dark/black a lot or just sometimes?
The antibiotics might be causing an upset system which is why I suggested the probiotics for
him. Hopefully that will help out.
As suggested, it isn't good to use a light overnight, but you can use a ceramic heat emitter for
nighttime heating.
That's great you added some organic baby food with the Baytril, so that helped out!
Keep us posted on him.

Just thought I'd do a little update, he finished the baytril and has started improving a bit (I think). His beard isn't really going black anymore had he had his first proper bowel movement yesterday (it was very liquidy on the baytril). He's still on emeraid with the milk thistle and probiotics as he still won't eat. The vet said he's only lost 6g in the last 2 weeks and was quite happy with how he was looking. He said to carry on reviewing him for the next 4 to 6 weeks on the emeraid and see how he gets on. I keep trying to offer his usual food just incase he starts eating proper food again. The vet doesn't know whether it could have been an infection or whether it's a potential tumour or virus. If it's the latter two he said there's no treatment options but if it was a bacterial infection we should see improvement slowly. He said a biopsy would be too risky for him and would only give us bad news If it shows anything.It was just black in the afternoon but since the baytril he's constantly black bearding. Thank you so much I will give him more yoghurt today and I definitely won't use that light and I'll find a ceramic heater! Thank you so much for all your advice flavouring the baytril has been such a huge help too! I'll keep you all updated
I am so sorry to hear about Ernie - all our hearts go out to you- it is always so difficult to lose them - you did everything possible for him and I am sure he knew that- he knew he was loved till the endWe had to say goodbye to Ernie last night I'm absolutely heartbroken we tried everything we could. After the vitamin injection he seemed great for a day and then declined even more. He got angry when I tried to syringe feed him which he had never done before and then he was trying to go to the toilet and couldn't, he started opening his mouth and puffing out his black beard and his legs were trembling. I couldn't bear to see him in pain so the difficult decision was made , I stayed with him until the end.
I'm devastated I've never felt sadness and grief like it and I can't stop crying. I keep looking at the viv when I walk into the room expecting him to be there. The house feels empty without him.
Thank you to everyone on this forum for your help and support, I don't think I would have as long with him as I did if it wasn't for you all, @Drache613 you have been an absolute angel and I can't thank you enough.
