Good news from the vet!

Sorry to keep people waiting for the news on Toby.
Dr. Colleen is really happy with his progress. He doubled his weight in eight days! He is still small for his age and very skinny. He's been putting all that food into growing bigger bones, and he needs to fill out a bit, so we are feeding him everything he will eat. Doc didn't feel x-rays were necessary at this point because he is clearly doing so well and all the signs point to the end of the infection. He had a blood test because his blood sugar was way off during his episode of sepsis, and his blood sugar is great. Toby is off antibiotics and was well enough to be wormed and have his shots;he is a bit feverish and droopy right now, but is eating well and should bounce right back in a day or two.
We got back in the car to head home and I fell asleep. Good thing Matt was driving. I've been napping for hours. There's so much I need to do, but for now I'm only able to rest and be thankful.
