Woo hoo!! That is wonderful news! I have a feeling he is going to be special! BTW, does the little man have a name yet?
Baby buckling...

I kinda want to name him Happy, but im not sure.
I am open to any suggestions
Oh, his cold has gotten better thankfully, its still there but hes not sneezing as bad and his booger amount has dropped. I'll wait another week or so and then take some more pictures, but I am very happy to say that it looks like his hair is growing back!

Ah great...
His perfect little pellets has turned into solid soft bricks.
I have to de-worm him again on the 25th to catch anything that's hatched. I am hoping that hes just having some tummy issues after all the medical treatment he had to go through so suddenly.
Any ideas of what I can do to firm everything back up? Do you think more hay would help?

When you say solid soft bricks, are they more like dog pooh? If so one of my liitle guys was doing this for a few days and I contacted my vet about it. She said to watch him and if it changed to true diarrhea (running stool) to contact her. But I know you've been battling some other things so I would hate for you to hesitate if u are not comfortable. Is he still eating, drinking and acting normal (as normal as you know for this little guy)? Those were the other things she had me watching when my little one was poohing dog shaped pooh.

Yup, dog poop.
I called the vet today and she pretty much said exactly what you said.
hes still eating, drinking, munching on hay, and eating his vitamins. She thinks its the stress of everything and possibly a still bad worm load.
If in ten days after the valabzine treatment he still has womrs then I need to treat him with ivermec. I have the tools to check fro worms so keep your fingers crossed he does not have any bugs after the next round of treatment!

Ok...yet another problem appears to have cropped up.
His leg is bowed out a little?
Its very hard to tell unless you've been around him for a little bit, but the front left *right leg when looking directly at the picture* appears to be either bowed a little bit, or hes favoring it.
Hes appears to be walking around fine on it so i dont think hes in pain, however could it be a mineral issue since he was so deprived for so long? Or could it be a defect of some kind?
Any thoughts?

Hi BlueMoon!
Any updates on ur little guy? Is his leg still bowed out? Is he using it? How about his other legs? Could he be low on copper? I've heard that that can cause leg problems. Obviously ur vet will know best.
I sure am pulling for this little guy. He's blessed to have you!!

My vet told me to try giving him a loose mineral to see if it helped first before she came back down.
He is walking on it, but he seems to favor it, and its almost like the leg is a little bit smaller which is odd.
He does not respond to pain when i touch it or flex it so that's good.
And hes so cute! He calls for us when we go outside and looks for belly scratches. Then we give him his food and all his little tail does is wag in appreciation, so cute!
Hopefully his leg will end up just being a lack of mineral issue and he will continue to grow up just fine
