Here he is resting after his medication. It has been 2 days since.

He is eating less and obviously unhappy. Today, he seems to relish the games after we giving him more attention. Yesterday, he looks just miserable. Refuses to eat much and ignores all of us.

He has to wear that guard for another 12 days, it must be torturious. Vet said he has to wear the guard for the full course of 14 days.

We are cleaning him daily with a damp cloth since he cannot clean himself.

Fungus !

Here is a close up of his fungus infection.

Despite him being indoors all the time, why he gets the fungus sort of puzzles me.

The vet has prescribed:
1. Sporidex – twice a day for 14 days
2. Topical Spray Novarax to be applied twice a day for the 14 days
3. Review in middle of July, irregardless of the condition

Good news is that part of the area appears to be growing fur again, that is supposedly better, I hope.

He hates being held for the topical spray and worst of all, the medication which we are feeding him orally via a syringe.

If anyone has any idea how to administer the oral mediation, I am all ears. He struggles when we feed him orally.

He struggles but does not scratch.

Like I said, it is heartbreaking

Zacky Is SIck !

Poor boy has to wear this hideous looking guard to prevent him from worsening his fungus infection on his left paw.

Initially, it looks kinda like flower.

But it is heartbreaking to see him like this
