Poor Dennis is a bit grunty!

Glad to hear he’s still acting his usual self. Hope the meds get on top of it soon.
 
Glad to hear Dennis is feeling better.
Sounds as if all the meds are finally working.
Hope he’s soon grunt and hoot free
 
Update time.

I think Dennis must be feeling better in himself and that the meds are FINALLY starting to kick in. This morning he completely refused all attempts at syringe feeding and just about took his ABs with a bit of a fight. He is still a bit grunty but the whistles and honks have gone. The grunts are a lot quieter than they were too. So (touch wood) things are starting to get a bit better for my Cutey Pie Dennis. Here he is to thank everyone for their get well wishes.

Fabulous and well timed 😉 Glad you’re feeling better Dennis 😘
 
Spoke to the vet yesterday as Dennis has run out of AB's. He is sounding alot better but still has a bit of gruntiness and now the odd whistle has joined the chorus too! Rachel (Vet) said that Dennis would benefit from the use of a nebuliser with F10 in it so the lovely @Qualcast&Flymo is lending me hers for a bit. Here is Dennis enjoying his breakfast of grated apple and oats just before his syringe feed this morning.

Omg that’s so much cuteness in one little furball! 😍 Hope the nebuliser helps and good to see him enjoying his brekkie!

So long as it helps him stop being grunty.
He will need lots of extra treats to ease his trauma at being nebulised.
Mine recommend cucumber chunks

It was veg time straight after. I tried to cuddle him and say sorry but he was having none of it! Oh dear he has to have the nebuliser treatment twice a day for 10-15 mins each time until his chest is clear. I'm not going to be popular! He was more rattly straight after which I take is a good sign cos at least it means whatever he has stuck in his chest/nasal passages is starting to shift already. The vet did warn me that this would happen and to just gently wipe away any thing that comes out of his nose and not to panic.
 
Poor Dennis and poor you, he was obviously very miffed! I hope his little chesticles clear up soon!
Like you, I noticed when I nebulised Zebedee that his breathing was more rattly immediately after, so it's good that your lovely vet forewarned you that could happen.
I'm sending him comforting and healing vibes xx
 
Missed these updates as we were away at the weekend. Hope Dennis is feeling better now. xx
 
After his second and third time of being "nebulised" he let me cuddle him wrapped up in a very boarly pink blanket for a short time.:) He is getting very rattly as the stuff is moving off his chest/out of his nasal passages. I am full expecting a runny nose soon that I'll have to wipe away gently. The fur on the end of his nose has grown back. I hadn't noticed it was getting a bit thin until I noticed it wasn't anymore! Honestly! What sort of slave am I?:coat:

You’re a very good slave. I’m glad he rewarded you with a cuddle. On a side note, my son had a pink fleece blanket when he was a baby. He absolutely loved that thing 😊
