Bertie is still with us, but only just. He’s been refusing liquids all day and was not at all good with his last feed late last night. So much so, I didn’t expect him to be with us this a.m and was pleased and surprised to see his ears twitch slightly as I opened his faunarium. He was still refusing to accept liquids but I kept managing to get just the tiniest drop of liquid into him. I’d let him rest and then try again later. On the fifth attempt today, he suddenly had a little twinkle in his eye which was lovely to see, even though I still couldn’t tempt him with a tasty drink. Then at 18.00 hrs, he finally accepted a drink and later two tiny mouthfuls of food. A small step in the right direction, but I think we still have a way to go. I am just hoping we can overcome it together. Bless him.
