So everything Im doing so far is ok?

[SarahFair]

While looking for my thermom. I remembered my 2 year old cut the cord with finger nail clippers a couple months ago

Ill have to wait till the tomorrow to get a new one..

So do you think that it is the shipping fever (im guessing caused by stress) causing pneumonia?
Can I get these meds at TSC?


Should I continue to let him stay in the house during these damp cold rainy days?

 

[ksalvagno]

I would. The dampness probably won't help if he is sick.

Depending on your TSC, I would think you should be able to get the meds there.

Good luck with your little guy.

How's he seem today?!?

 

[SarahFair]

Hes eating more today than he has since hes been here. His nose has stopped running but hes still coughing some. But Im guessing its kinda normal. My SO forgot to leave me money to pick up a thermom so we are going tonight to get one.
Hes become a lot more friendly towards me and the dogs (but has enough of them after awhile) Ive been thinking about letting him out in my bathroom to stretch his legs and see if I cant get my ear up to his side to listen to his lungs.

If you put diapers on him (cutting out a hole for the tail), you could let him run around the house without fear of accidents.

If he has severe lung problems you may hear it but the subtle ones you really need a stethoscope and experience with what lungs should sound like.

Glad he seems to be doing better.

I do have size 4 diapers!
But I think they may be too small

Plus hes still somewhat skiddish. I would hate to go to grab him and him jump on the couches and tear/scratch them.

 

[ksalvagno]

Could you confine him to the kitchen?

 

[Ariel301]

Letting him walk around the bathroom should be ok. Or a laundry room, if you have one that you can confine him in. I have done that before when I had bottle fed kids living in the house.

Poor boy, I hope he is ok. He sure is cute.

I let him out in the bathroom awhile then I let him out to potty when the rains let up. Left him out there a good while and brought him back in.

His nose has stopped running and hes not coughing like he was so hes getting better
I think it was just stress
