Baru's condition, January 23rd
Sunday, January 22, 2006 - Posted by Javi Lavandeira
Tonight I was reading at bed when I noticed that Baru was moving on his nest. I woke up from bed and saw him laying on his side, eating some sunflower seeds from the hamster mix that I left near him. He could crack them open by himself, but it looked like he was making an effort, so I opened a few with my nails and put them besides him so he could reach them easily. He ate a few while I was there looking. Then I prepared some warm water with sugar as Doctor Ozawa said. I took Baru, dipped my finger in the sugar water and let him lick a drop from my finger. He drank four or five drops and then didn't want to drink anymore. I put him back in his nest, covered him, and went back to bed.
The first thing I did this morning when I woke up was checking his condition. I opened his cage and found him sleeping peacefully under a few tissue paper strips. I didn't want to disturb him, so I went to the kitchen to prepare my breakfast. When I came back I found him awake, outside his nest, crawling laboriously towards the corner in his cage where he greets me every morning. I took him carefully in my hand and checked his fur. It looked better than yesterday (even better than before Doctor Ozawa applied the spray). There were a few fleas easily visible, all of them dead. I put Baru back in his cage and went to the kitchen to prepare some warm water with sugar for him, but he didn't want to drink. I put him on his tissue bed, covered him so he would not be cold, and left him sleeping.
He looks slightly better than yesterday. Only slightly. He's still in an awful condition.

Get rid of those nasty fleas and get better!

I'm helping him by giving him soft, high-calory food that he can eat easily and making sure that he's drinking and that his nest is warm.
I really hope he'll get better, but honestly, I think that's going to be difficult.
