So, I ended up at a different vet than I'm used to because he agreed to see all three of them for a cheaper price than I usually pay to just see one and my usual vet could not see Arty until next Monday. I feared that without care soon her simple URI would progress to pneumonia and because of that I think I've made a big mistake, the veterinarian was a very nice, very old man, but I think it may be time for him to consider retiring, and I don't think he has as much experience with rats as my usual vet. All three of my ratties were diagnosed with URI's, I'm not surprised, as the breeder and independent pet-store I got them from had been keeping them in aquariums. He gave me Baytril, however, it is in tablet form. The tablets were already cut in to fourths, and he told me to split them in three and give one piece to each rat for 8 days then come back and see him again. He couldn't tell me the exact milligrams of the Baytril, though he assured me that he measured the dosages out while he was filling the prescription. I know I will have to crush the tablets, split it in to three piles, and mix it in to applesauce to get my girls to take it. My question is, has anyone else been given tablets instead of liquid? And could anyone give me an estimation of the milligrams I am giving to my girls before I go at this all willy nilly? I can provide pictures of the tablets, but as I said, they were given to me pre-cut and the numbers on them are compromised because of it. While the prices were good(I only paid 25$ in total, it was quite the steal) and he seemed to enjoy treating my rats, I don't think I will be going back there.
