indigirl Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi sorry for the delay in updating, had to work this morning. Dropped round to see Reg before work. Good news is he stopped bleeding about 5am. Bad news is he wont weight bear on his legs and he has a very high fever - 41deg. Vet came to see him at home and is very concerned about his high fever which indicates a raging infection somewhere. Owner jsut left to go pick up IV antibiotics and fluid. She is going to run a bag of fluids into him and antibiotics. hoping that will bring his fever down. Does anyone know oif this kind of fever is usually associated with ratsack poisoning? Im sitting with the beautiful boy spraying his mouth to keep it moist. The owner had maybe an hours sleep last night, Reg was too unwell for her to sleep. He looks better, no blood and settled but am worried++ about the infection now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thinking of you Could a fever be caused by the massive blood loss/imbalance in the body? All his systems would be failing.... Sorry, don't know. Hope all your efforts pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spottychick Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Oh dear! I wonder if part of the weight-bearing thing is just related to the loss of so much blood.... I don't know much about it tho. I am keeping him in my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarasMum Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I am hoping he just wont weight bear due to fatigue from the blood loss. Poor old boy, everything is still crossed for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shepherd~ Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Thinking of you Could a fever be caused by the blood loss/imbalance in the body? All his systems would be failing.... Sorry, don't know. Hope all your efforts pay off. going on the many imbalances we have around here and have delt with in the past, temps do soar when the body is fighting an invader. CNS goes in to over drive trying to rid of the invader. CNS can cause a lot of bizzare body reactions. I had a horse who didnt do a certain brand of wormer (we found out) but similar symptoms to a severe infection. Fingers crossed to the beautiful boy, reminds me of my Elliot.
