To help him breath, I would place him in a closed place and get Eucalyptus oil and put a few drops in a steaming pot of water or an electric crock pot. A fogger or humidifier is an expensive alternative.
Eucalyptus OilI am using vicks (as recommended by a previous vet) it has eucalyptus oil in it. It's fine but just a little hard to evaporate and has less Eucalyptus oil. |

I can not offer any advice but I can offer this:
Good St. Francis, you loved all of God's creatures.
To you they were your brothers and sisters.
Help us to follow your example
of treating every living thing with kindness.
St. Francis, Patron Saint of animals,
watch over Blueboy and keep my companion safe and restore
him to good health.
Amen

Well. Blueboy had some time on his own in a cage and started going ballistic trying to get out. I figured he'd be calmer out with the others so I let him out and he started shouting at the top of his sacs to the others. Then he flew up to Nurse Snowy who has been preening him ever since and he seems calmer!  |

Poor Blue boy! I'm glad he seems to be feeling a bit better but do hope you get some real help and reassurance at the vet tomorrow. What a lovely friend you have.

Thank heavens Blueboy has recovered to some degree. C'mon Blueboy, we all want you to get well. I really hope the vet can give you something positive to work with, Marianne. It is very stressful watching our little friends suffer and only being able to do so much. We will be thinking of you. xx |

Was so sorry to hear about Blueboy Marianne, best of luck today - let us know how he gets on. Great idea from Stace re the Steam, that does really help and never knew about Eucalyptus oil, good one to know. You are doing everything for the little guy x
