Hi, I have used this site many times to look up information and figured it was my best option for getting some much needed advice right now, so I made an account...hoping somebody can help.
I have 2 male rats right now, both about 3 months old. One started with the head tilt about 2-3 weeks ago, and the other appears to be just fine. I took them both to the vet on Friday Feb.24th and was given antibiotics for one of them. The vet mentioned Baytril but that because of his age she didn't want to give him that so she gave Spectra instead. He is supposed to take it orally every 12 hours. I gave it to him when we got home on Friday and every 12 hours since (11 times so far) but see no results at all. Just wondering if anyone knows how long it should take to get results?
Also, I did some research and have noticed people talking about getting an antibiotic AND some sort of anti-inflammatory, and am a bit concerned because the vet didn't mention anything about that.
Basically I am just looking for any advice on possible other medications or anybody's experience with Spectra or maybe a different vet?...anything would be helpful, just want him to get better
Thanks
