Hey guys!
So my rattie has been having some sort of infection in her lady parts for over a month now. With a vet and suggestions from the board, we tried many solutions...but nothing was working.
Just the other day, I started her on Amoxicillin since I heard it's good for urinary infections and I think it MIGHT actually be getting better! She is on the end of her second day and it is still leaking, but less and not as smelly.
ONLY problem? You guess it.....diarrhea. I heard amox can give ratties the runs and I know they can get dehydrated fast. I worry about keeping her on the 10 days of amox...but since there is potential of it working I have no idea what to do.
Do you guys suggest I stop Amox? Or do I change it to one dose a day? Or every other day? Or lawnmower through it?
Any suggestions would be so much appreciated!
:thanks: M.
