Some of you may remember episode IV – A New Hope (for Eric).
Eric was taken to the Sugarloaf Animal Surgery (NSW, Australia) for observation.
While there, he had 10mL extracted from his abdomen and was placed on a course of antibiotics.
What was wrong? A liver infection. It comes down to bad nutrition. I had followed the instructions given to me by the store that sold Eric to me … Only to find that I was over feeding him and over feeding him the wrong foods.
The vet has sent me home with hypodermic syringes and antibiotics and I am completely changing his diet. He’s not out of the woods yet, but he is making steady progress. Thanks to everyone who offered their advice.
I’ll post regular updates and photos as he gets better. I would also like to add that I have learned more in the last week about these fascinating little creatures than in the whole time I have owned Eric and I would only be to happy to share info with anyone who may need it.
