Billy again
Billy got another upper respiratory infection and his eye got infected … again.
First he was in trouble because he couldn’t nurse, so we bottle fed him,
then he got an upper respiratory infection and both eyes were infected.
But during all of that he had the appetite of a tiger.
This time, he stopped eating and drinking for 36 hours.
It happened so fast, and of course on a weekend.
But Dr. Thomas took him in on Saturday,
gave him sub-Q fluids, heavy antibiotics and eye drops.
Within 2 hours of bringing him home,
he was eating and feeling frisky – whew, what a relief!
He’s not happy about extra eye drops and meds,
but we are so very thankful he is doing better.
The world without Billy Mouse would be a dreary place,
so we’re watching him like a hawk.
This little guy is turning my hair the color of his fur with worry,
but I am so thankful for his exuberance and cheerful fearless nature.
There is very old wisdom that says
‘it is our sacred duty to live life to the fullest, despite the pain and hardship of this world’.
Billy lives that quote every day of his life and his example
has made a great impact on me.

He’s such a sweetheart.
Our Dansig has the eye herpes virus and it acts up once in so often, or he’ll get the sniffles. Immediately if not sooner i start putting colloidal silver drops in his eyes and nose, and it gets rid of it every single time. Please note, this is in addition to anything the vet gives him, if he has to be taken to the vet, but if i start it soon enough, he doesn’t stay sick long enough for the vet to be called.
It’s one of those remedies that is worth trying, along with the vet’s meds, since it can’t hurt and it might help fight the infection.
