Thank you sooooooo much! I will start his meds today! (o:

He weighs 350 grams, or 12.5 ounces (he is very tiny for his age of 8 months!). The doxy is 100mg capsules (I usually mix this with 12ml of slightly diluted syrup), and the zithro is 100mg/5ml powder (I only have 100 mg of this and I dilute it with 3ml of water to make 5ml. I hope I have enough...

He's 8 months old. He has no symptoms except the head tilt. He is eating perfectly and acting like himself and very playful. I would think with an infection there would be some other symptoms of not feeling well. Maybe I'm wrong. With all of his other issues, I figured it likely that there may...

Hello everyone. My lovely little special needs boy, Bubs, has developed a head tilt. I am pretty sure it is due to a neurological issue, possibly a tumour. I got him as a very tiny and sickly baby, and you may remember my posts back about 6 months ago about him being blind and deaf, and having a...

So sad that so many look up to her and ask for her help! I posted my thoughts on the matter, without being rude or anything. I stated the facts from the wildlife rehabilitation centre, which is that all animals with cat bites are immediately treated with antibiotics because they are almost...

Thanks. I thought this was the case. I have seen that 48 hours later, the baby is still doing well, so hopefully this little one has been lucky! I'm pretty appalled at the advice of others though, especially Debbie who I thought would be more knowledgeable about this sort of thing, and who...

This is not because it happened to me, so no worries there! It is just for my own knowledge. I trust you guys on here to know better than most! On another rat group a 2 day old baby was found being attacked by cats (it had several bite marks and blood). The owner saved it and 24 hours later baby...

Thanks so much for asking! He is doing wonderfully! I never added the Baytril. After a while the Zithro worked. He is finished treatment in a few days! He is growing and playing and is a very happy little guy. After having him for about a week though, I started noticing that his behaviour in...

He's been on Zithro for a week and a half now. As of today, he is actually quite a bit better with the sneezing, so maybe it was just working a little more slowly than I expected. I will stay on this routine and hopefully it will work. Thanks everyone.

The last babies I had with the exact same symptoms were put on this first, and it did nothing for them. I worried it may not help here either. I've heard others say they have had not so much luck with it either. I just hate wasting my money on meds that don't work, and then throwing them away to...

Two of the other four I took in in December had to be medicated, and after 3 different treatments did not work, we went to Zithro and Baytril, but they were not quite so young, maybe 7-8weeks old. The treatment worked immediately, which is why I thought it may help here. I just didn't want to...

It seems that takes you to my album in photobucket, so you can peruse pics of the baby, and baby pics of the four boys I got in December who he will be living with once he is healthy enough. (o:

I finally have photobucket figured out, so Hopefully I can post a pic here. This is his scrotum area. http://s1159.photobucket.com/user/kgrevatt/media/012b5f28-86a0-4162-b88f-814285d8ff8d_zpsjvj024tk.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1

I'm still really hoping for some advice about the meds especially. I have some Baytril but I don't want to give it to him if he's too young. Anyone?

This is definitely in the scrotum area. It looks like his testicles have dropped, except it's clear fluid in there instead of testicles. The vet looked at it, but said with all the fluid it was hard to tell what was going on. She hoped the Zithro may help bring the fluid down enough to tell. She...

I found a little guy on deaths door at the local pet shop, and as soon as I picked him up, he crawled into my shirt and started bruxxing. Home he came, one week ago today. I didn't think he would make it the first night. He could barely walk, and he was a walking skeleton with skin stretched...

Thank you for that info Lilspaz68. I will check it out and let my vet know. :flower:

I just wanted to give you all an update on how it is going with my boys. They are on their third week of Azithromycin and Baytril, which started to work within days of treatment. They only sneeze now when they breath something funny. They are on a six week treatment, so fingers crossed this does...

I'm taking them in today, so hopefully things will be looking up for my babies! I'll let you know how it goes. (o:

Thanks so much SQ! I will take this info to the vet with me. The sneezes are wet and congested (spray comes out when they sneeze). It was at first and got better in the first few days, but is now the same again. I will let you know how it goes. I am down with a nasty flu right now, so hopefully...
