Mushka's walking does seem to be better than last Thursday but his fever continues to cycle. Over the weekend it stayed in the 101-102 range but Tuesday morning & this morning it has been 103.3 & 103.2. Midday and evening checks of his temp show it down to 101/102 again. Dawn from ECVR call to check on him yesterday but Steve missed her call. Dr. Stoll was concerned they didn't hear back and call this morning. I explained his cycling fever and she said several things could cause an undulating fever. She explained that since the x-rays didn't show any clear signs of possible infection and his blood work isn't showing much either that she would like to have Dr. Dupree do an ultrasound. We are scheduled to take Moo to ECVR at noon on Thursday for Dr. Dupree to do an ultrasound that afternoon.
We have also noticed him sitting differently - he seems to prefer to have his legs under him like in the photo below which seems odd to us. He used to sit with his legs off to his side. Maybe there are nerve issues and the new position feels better. ?? :(
