We just got him back like an hour or 2 ago. He seems fine....first we went to visit him cause he wasn't eating and they asked us to come in and see if he would eat for us and if he did we might be able to take him home. So we went right and she gave him some food and at first he wouldn't eat it but then he just gobbled it up. So we were like okay then she said "We'll wait for an hour to see if he'll keep it down and if an hour passes and he hasn't thrown it up you can take him home." So we said okay and left him there and as soon as we left he threw a freakin fit and started crying and banging on the cage for us to take him with us. So that was a good sign. An hour passed we picked him up and now he's chillin with me in front of the door to the computer room. He's still not eating though. They gave us this can of food for him and we're supposed to give him a teaspoon of it every hour on the hour for 24 hours but he just refuses to eat that shit. I don't think it's cause he still feels sick I think it's cause he thinks it tastes like shit...he's used to beef cuts with gravy n stuff like that. I put it under his face and he just picks his head up and points his nose upward and stares straight ahead at me like "Uh uh...I ain't eatin that shit!" It's kinda vexing me a bit cause I want him to eat so we don't have to take him back and it's hard to tell if he's completely alright cause he's alway just laying around not doing anything, not coming when you call, etc. Cept when he was sick he was crawlin under beds and behind things so he could puke. I'm thinking he's just fine and just doesn't care to eat this food we're giving him but they didn't give us an alternative food source in case of a situation like this. Might have to force feed it to him.

Asta!!
