[QUOTE="TR, post: 1060256, member: 22"] Really, just drugs and time. Oh, and one vet call. I can't remember if he charged me for the fecal or not. I had most of the drugs on hand anyway, and they were going out of date, so putting them into him as opposed to tossing them out was a better deal in my mind. I'm at the limit of $$ I'll put into them before giving up though, so this is basically "Do or Die" for him.... I'm wondering if the snake bite blew his immune system out? He came down with pneumonia relapse #1 after I vacc'd him with the Enforce 3 and Bovi-serum after he abscessed, and pneumonia relapse #2 this time after I boostered him with Triangle 9 and Ultrabac 8. He's doing better as of last night. Scours are gone, but they usually do once his temp goes down due to the antibiotics. I popped a magnet into him last night and he wasn't quite as hunched over as he had been the previous couple of days.
