When i heard that there was this little guy being kept in a crate 24/7 for almost a year and with no human interaction, there was nothing that was going to stop me from removing him from that situation. They didn't even keep him crated indoors. They really damaged him emotionally and dulled his senses so that he was so shut down to all things around him that he was so shut down to all things around him. Its taking him a long time to get through to his senses & open his mind, senses of awareness to the fact that there is a world of loving humans, sunlight feeling good on his skin, foods can be enjoyed, beds soft etc. I don't think he's ever had anything good given to him. But the biggest challenge is his constant diarrhea that he's had for at least 6 months. The day I got Jessie I brought him to an emergency Veterinarian because I wasn't able to get an appointment with my regular Vet. He has been soaked in diarrhea for so long and because of his inability to push hard enough, it stays caked on the anus area. And he will not let anyone touch it to clean it.
The emergency Vet sedated him with Trazodone and cleaned it up. I got him in to see my guy and after several stool panels, he was diagnosed with Campylobacter Infection. It's a bacteria infection caused when an animal consumes bird poop. And at least 3 times a day, he vomits up liquid. They prescribed Tylan Powder that isn't doing anything, and now he's on Erythromycin along with Probiotic Pills and a strict Hills Science Diet by prescription. I am so saddened because this guy should have all this energy, pulling on toys acting like a puppy. But all he does is sleep and gets up fast to squirt out so much water. One good thing he is hydrated, drinks a lot of water and has an appetite. I am reaching out to all you wonderful people with hope that one of you is holding an answer to this little guy's problem.
