Sully seems somewhat better today. I offer him praise for every small thing he acomplishes, because it is apparent that his mood and will power will have great impact on his ability to make it through this ordeal.
He has improved his ability to lap water, with slow deliberate licks. I will still have to give him IV fluids twice a day, because he can't get enough down on his own. I put a milkbone treat in front of him, and while he ultimately turned away from it, I saw his nose twitch for a split second when he moved in to sniff it.
I am now putting eye drops in his eyes every two hours, as they have become irritated from not being able to blink. He lays in one spot most of the time, and no longer seeks to lay in a room I'm in.
Overall, he seems more affected by depression that physical deterioration. No matter how long it takes, I won't give up on him.
