One of my girls, around 20 months, has a respiratory infection right now. :sad3: :sad3:
Or possibly, pneumonia!
She's been to the vets, on Friday night.... we gave her Baytril here, but later found her opening her mouth (very slightly though) to breath and rushed her to the vets (emergancy vet) at midnight. She gave her a steroid injection and said keep her on Baytril, twice daily. The dosage was too small, so we're giving another .05mls with the .1ml
She's not improved any. I've tried baby food, ice cream, yoghurt, and anything else to tempt her. She ate nothing all of Saturday.
Saturday night, I managed to get her to eat a little grated cheese :happydance:
Today she's been quite bright. She's been living under a cover on a bed though (just like she did when she was an orphan :giggle: ).
She is not easy to get the baytril to. It's syringed but she doesn't swallow it easily and spits a little tiny bit back out too It's never quite the full amount, don't think
Anyway the vet said bring her back this upcoming Wednesday, as we had an appointment for another girl with tumour removal complications (infection etc... but that's healing :joy: )
But we've decided to take them Monday, tomorrow. We will be asking for doxy, as I don't feel we're doing QUITE enough My mum doesn't think the doxy will change anything, and she may be right.
I basically just wanted to know who uses baytril alone, doxy alone, or both together and what your preferance is?
Thanks.
