Good news, bringing Koa home today. I hope he begins to eat and drink. The Vet suggested pedialyte to keep hydrated. Can animals drink coconut water?

It definitely could (IMHO).

How's Koa today Elizabeth?

Do you have access to homeopathic medicines?

Is he still due to come home soon Elizabeth?

The vet told me he is a bit better than yesterday. I will be going in a bit to pick him up. It seems that he is still not eating or drinking so I will try my best giving him what I can at home.

I can order off of Amazon. I have nothing here. We are a small town

Fantastic that he can come home!

Home is where healing happens best!

If you have a local health food store, perhaps pick up a few remedies there like Arsenicum album, Phosphorus, Nux vomica and Pulsatilla. They may also have soothing GI herbs (which can support the body while it heals by decreasing nause, vomiting and diarrhea) like slippery elm and marshmallow root.

You can also order a kit of 50 of the most common emergency remedies from:

I have a blanket on the floor in the room he’s in. It seems he vomited but all liquid. And, he pees a little wherever he lays down. It just comes out.

Is this normal after what he’s done through?

No, this not necessarily normal, despite what he's been through.

How's his overall BEAM?

Does he engage with you, or get up easily?

Since he vomited, it might be best to withhold food and water.

I just wanted to update on Koa. He is now eating and drinking and pooping normal.

The red in the eyelid seems to be getting a bit normal.
Thank you all for your generous insight and support?
