flea

I am worrying a little about the Dillo tonight. The rash came on during the day Tuesday. That night he was 99.6, and it seemed like a minor thing. He was a little cranky but pretty well Wednesday and today, though he has had very little appetite. Mostly just nursing. This evening a reasonably good fever has come on though - he was 101.8. He's sleeping but seems a little congested - is mouth-breathing.

I wasn't worried before now since he seemed basically well, if spotty. But now that he seems sick I am more worried. Logically, this is just some random virus. It's not a good match symptomatically for chicken pox, cocksackie, Fifth disease, or roseola; he's been immunized for measles and rubella, and they've eradicated smallpox. Somehow I'd be less worried if I could name it.

Maybe we'll try to take him in tomorrow.
