Odin and Bastian have had chronic sneezing, but I've been watching them really closely to make sure it didn't develop further. Usually echinacea would keep the sneezes down and they would be fine.
But now it seems Odin is sneezing more often and starting to slightly breath more heavily. He still eats and drinks but he JUST started getting hunched and lethargic (but he still plays). I am going to call the vet first thing tomorrow and get over there as soon as I can. This is difficult as I really don't have a vehicle but I will see if I can't borrow Chris's van tomorrow which will be an adventure because I havn't been behind the wheel in forever.
So hopefully I will be able to get him into the vet tomorrow or wednesday morning. I already had planned on taking them to the vet friday to check on their myco and make sure it wasn't developing further.
I'm doing the best I can to recover my vet fund after the loss of Joshu, but money is still tight. Regardless I know the vet has mentioned taking my credit card number and taking the money out at a later date. I'm going to have to do this, and hope she works with me (She knows I'm reliable at paying my bills, I've had to pay a bill later in the past due to computer issues on their part). But I'm just so worried about the poor fellow. I hope Joshu didn't have that SDA thing and it's gotten to Odin now D: It's been a month since Joshu passed away and I'm hopeing I can bring Odin back to health. He's never been really healthy, being a feeder rat inflicted with myco with only one eye. I do hope antibiotics will help him anyway.
Please send warm wishes to Odin and some luck to me in finding a ride to the vet D: I think I might bring Bastian along to get a checkup as well to make sure he doesn't have the same thing.
