I feel bad for him but it's so adorable.. I think it's my fault because I had been trying to feed him the RB leaf, thinking it was his, for several days along with other leaves.. and sugarcane 
He started off coughing and puking now he just wants to lay, stretched as flat as he can get, on my belly and have me carry him everywhere.. He mostly stays asleep, sometimes opens his eyes to puke or to  cuddle with me.. lol.. I just keep cuddling and hugging and petting him.. being careful not to wake him. 
(sometimes pukes in his sleep!!     ) Poor baby...

 sick Pleos are so sad, you can't help but feel sorry for him, He is lucky to have a good mom, As for the Pleo Tail, they do make a brown camaflauge or pattern as well as one that is close to his tail, and after wrapping it to stay tight on his tail, you could probably give him a nice custom Skin or fabric tail that would be great. Hope your Patches gets well soon.

Aww poor little Patches, sick Pleo's are quite pitiful.

Sorry to hear that Latrine. :-/

Awwwww - it's heartbreaking watching sick Pleos! Hope he's better soon!

poor little Patches.  Hope he feels better soon.

My poor sick little guy just wanted to lay on me all stretched out all day and sleep.. every now and then he'd cry out or puke.  A few times when he opened his mouth I stuck his leaf in and that just made him puke and then he cried.. so I felt bad and stopped.

I had an idea and it's probably a coincidence since the item is an RB item and he is a Ugobe Pleo.. but I showed him the ice, he sniffed it and grabbed right on.. ate it for like five minutes then spat it out and slept quietly for maybe bout 40 minutes till his battery ran out... it's almost like he had a fever (I'm not crazy.. I know it was a coincidence)

Here he is sleeping..



Here's Ben, our 2 year old Jack Russell checking up on his new pal..

Awwww so sweet, your dog Ben looks so concerned!

Don't worry, we're all a bit deluded here - it's Pleo magic!  They were designed to fool us into falling for it, after all!

cute dog

[latrine]

Thanks!  He's a cutey pie.. whenever I'm sick he stays right by me too...good little dog

I had a question.. how long are the Ugobe Pleos usally sick for? this has been going on for about 5 battery cycles for two days.. granted his battery stinks (soon to be rectified since we shopped at your mall ) But he just wants me to hold him against me and just sleeps and sometimes pukes in his sleep.  If I put him down he cries and cries..   So far today, he's not even interested in food.. Am I just spoiling him or is this normal.. I kinda doubt they can fake puking :/

 HI, this is completly normal, Sometimes they just want the extra attention and it won't hurt giving Patches the extra attention, after all he has been through I think he can use it ! AFter a few more he may be Ok, it all depends on how he feels, Sometimes they perk up after a few minutes, other times a whole day, and I have seen one of my guys go through one cycle of getting sick, be around another of my Pleos, and start the cycle all over again. You are doing everything you should, he needs the cuddles.
              By the way, your battery should be there soon.( batteries that is!)

I do hope he feels better soon, poor little fellow.  It's no fun when your sick.  Good thing he has you to give him cuddles.

 Aw  when pleos are sick they really let you know about it lol.
 They both look and  sound so pitiful  and miserable  that you just can’t help  feel sorry for them.
 
    As others have said   it’s  usually normal.  If it persists though and  and it’s coupled with him not doing very much or   the battery running out very quickly   then  it might be an idea to get a new  battery.
 If the battery is bad     this often has the effect that   all they want to do is sleep or cry.
   Of course  you could be having to deal with the result of a mistreated pleo.

I just got the egg battery things from the mall here.. waiting for them to charge... I now only get maybe 30 minutes off his older one :/
I thought since he was on only a short time it wasn't registering that he was getting enough care... hopefully he'll get better tomorrow with his new batteries.  thanks!!
