Nate and ike woke up at 4 on friday from their naps and we thought what a nice time to bring them both out. As soon as we met with our friends nate needed to poo and then he had the runs. I had to run back and forth at least 5 times before we got to leave. After a day and a half of no diarrhea he broke out into major diarrhea. Saturday was a bit better but today was worse again so we took him to the dr. He is not dehydrated adn we can't give him medication till they test the stool samples and that takes 48 hours. In the meantime he can drink whatever he wants, milk included and has not eaten much.
This posting was nearly called, "In Memoriam, Pistol 2001-2007", Loren came back form Congo on friday at about 7pm. At 9 pm we realise pistol is missing and we scour the neighbourhood. Nothing! we leave his cage out side for him incase he wandered off and came home. The next day we put up posters and I speak to the vet, there are eagle owls in the area (the largest owls in the world) and they pick up prey larger than pistol, we last saw him at 6pm at dusk when its their hunting time, the kids in the neighbourhood are crying when they hear he is lost... By midnight we think he pretty much has become owl food, then jake goes crazy at the cupboard near our kitchen sink, voila... pistol! first thing he did was to zip out and pee.
Today am not feeling 100%, had a fever and woken several times at night because of nate's crying. Will probably not be updating the blog next week, hope ike doesn't get the bug!
