So, Brody had his first vet visit last night and he is officially a 6-week old little boy! He tested negative for FIV & Leukemia which is great news! Brody is severly dehydrated so Dr. Lauren gave him a shot which will hydrate him for 12 hours. He also tested positive for roundworm and had a moderate to severe case of fleas. Dr. Lauren gave him a de-wormer and the flea medication so he is already feeling much better as the flea medication works it's magic in 2 hours. When I got him home after the vet, Brody sat up for the first time! He finally ate too!! He ate a decent amount of food overnight and early this morning so that is a great sign. He is using the litter box like a champ too! Dr. Lauren called to check on him this morning and said that the roundworms take about 2 days to die off so he will feel a bit sluggish during this time. As far as the social skills go, they are a bit slow. He still hates me ;) BUT I have hope that once he feels better and starts to eat regularly and feel more safe, he will come around and hopefully start to play! We are getting a lot of rain today and so the timing couldn't have been better. I don't think he would have made it much longer in the shape he was in. One of our wonderful fosters, Miracle Myra, will help us socialize him soon, once he is feeling better.
