Hi everyone!
Problems yet again...
the day after I lost my dear piggie Gidget, I was playing with my remaining two,
and noticed that Gella (her daughter and cage mate) seems to have the same
problem that Gidget had.
Its not as bad as Gidget though...she's still fat, but she's not breathing right
(sounds like she needs to blow her nose..lol) she has a few little nose snots,
and she's quite lethargic. She's also not eating her regular food, or drinking.
She does eat vegetables - and boy does she eat them, and she does take the
vitamin c formula that I had mixed up for her (squeezed oranges, grapes, and a
crushed up vit. c tablet), I'm also syringing her some fresh water as well as
the vit c. I called the vet as soon as I noticed her breathing, and he told me
to put her on the same thing that Gidget was on - Baytril. Thats the generic
name for it, I can't remember the real one right now, but it IS one of the few
safe antibiotics.
She's been on this for 5 days now, and there's really no big changes - she a bit
brighter, but she seems to be loosing weight now as well...
Does anyone have ANY suggestiong?????

I have to get my baby through this - I can't stand to loose a third pet in such
a short time....
