Norm is now temporarily residing in my half bath off my mudroom where I can easily administer his meds and monitor him more frequently. He gets eye drops twice a day, and three different oral meds once a day - an antibiotic, some kind of anti-inflammatory, and something to treat the potential of the cause being Encephalitozoon cuniculi, a protozoan (single-celled) parasite.
