Feather's still chugging along. He was 834g this morning and I've been feeding him throughout the day. He's been given the requisite 60g of Critta Care but I've no idea how much water I got into him. He dribbled out half of every syringe of water and peed the whole time so I couldn't get an estimate via the syringes or the weight changes.
But he's peeing a lot and the blood indicator on the urinalysis test strips is beginning to pale out which can only be a good sign. He's actually peeing a tonne, but I'm stuffing him with water so that could be the cause. I still can't convince him to eat on his own but we're getting this syringe feeding thing down pat. He'll take 24mL of Critta Care per feeding without making the slightest bit of mess now. Water on the other hand goes everywhere.
I go back to uni on Wednesday and Feather won't be able to come with me, so I'm praying he'll be fine by then. Otherwise I'm just going to have to hope he'll be okay for the eight or so hours I'll be away.
Anyway he's at 880g now, and I guess we'll see how he is in the morning.
I'm also trying to decide whether I should take him back to the vets this Saturday or wait till Monday, I'm still not sure.
