His blood is normal, no fever, and his lungs are clearing up. Not 100% yet, but they said they didn't expect it either. Going back for another x-ray in two weeks.

So as it stands now, he's going to be on antibiotics until the next x-ray. They did take him off the Sucralfate, and they're going to speak to the pet pharmacy here about compounding as many of the meds together that they can. If they can't, I was told they should at least be able to do the 2 Baytrils. But we'll see.

Glad to hear Wellie is getting better. Tincture of Time is the best medicine; however, it doesn't work as fast as we would like.

Thanks everyone. :grouphug:

Funny thing- I wasn't aware that various medications can be combined, and even created, in different forms like going from a tablet to a liquid, and even in different strengths by pharmacies and not the manufacturer.
One of my biggest problems with this was keeping up with the meds.- I'll be be so happy if they can cut it down, even by a few pills.

isn't that cool? hopefully the compounding pharmacist will be able to create the meds for Wellie in a dosage form that's palatable and easy for him to take.

The pharmacy called earlier. They were able to compound a bunch of the meds. but I didn't understand which ones. They're being delivered tonight so I'll know soon enough.
Can't even begin to explain how happy I am.
Wellie hates taking the pills. Only way to get them down is with vanilla ice cream. It was [MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] suggestion and has worked a little too well! He's gained a pound since last week. I know it's the ice cream!
