Judy,
I hope Draco is doing better. It sounds like Draco and Orion have the same
symptoms that my Pauly and Goliath both had. Pauly was about 6 or so and
acted like you described Orion. It took a few months, but eventually he
did waste away to almost nothing. I couldn't even force feed him. I'll
spare you the ending, but we did have to help him cross the bridge. I let
his illness go far longer than I should have.
Goliath, on the other hand, was like your Draco - just a few weeks. He
started out like Pauly had, and then he must have had a stroke or something
because he could hardly walk. His left side was useless. To go from over
3 pounds to just under 1 pound in less than a month was too much for his
system, I guess. We helped him cross, too, since I didn't want to have
him go through what I had put Pauly through.
The vet suspected pancreatic tumors, but never did a necropsy. I really
wish now I had insisted.
Michel
P.S. Sorry it took so long to respond, I've been away on business and
am using my Saturday A.M. to catch up.
