Copper update.

Thursday morning I took Copper to the Vet. While at work they called and said that his blood work and stool samples were normal and other than a little dehydrated from the vomiting and diarrhea this was fine. They wanted to do an Xray to make sure he didn't have a blockage but would need to sedate him due to some crankiness. His X-rays came back fine and they said they would want to keep him until he ate and had a bowel movement. Yesterday when I visited the vet's office after work they said that he didn't eat at all and was drinking water, but he hadn't vomited today. This was the first day he hadn't in 5 days he hadn't thrown up. This morning they were going to start him on gruel (soft watery food) and see how this went. About 10am I received a call and they said that he didn't have a fever and he was eating food but he hasn't had a bowel movement yet. They suggested keeping him until Monday and they felt like he would be ready to come home then. The vet said that when they opened the door to his cage this morning he shot out of it and down the hall. This is the most active he has been since this whole ordeal. I think we got some good news and that things are getting better so we will wait and see how things go. They said they would call me tomorrow on his progress and Monday we will hopefully get to bring him home.
