Moo had suspected pasturella when I got her. She had gunky snot, and a weepy eye. However she had been kept on woodshavings in the P@H adoption centre, so a few days without this and her eye was fine.
I put her on baytril for 4 weeks and the snuffles went totally, but as soon as I stopped with it they came back. I have now tried her on benadryl each morning and she seems OK. She does sneeze, but mainly when she sticks her head in her hay basket.
Now she is probably 6 months old or maybe more and she is getting a little bitey and hormonal. I have asked the vet about spaying her as I have a lovely husbun in the house waiting for her. The vet said there was an increased risk during the GA due to if she had pasturella she may have pulmonary something or other! I suggested putting her on baytril before the op to get rid of any snuffles symptoms.
What do I do? Do I get her spayed and have the increased risk (bare in mind it might not have been pasturella) or do I not have her done and risk her developing uterine cancer?
I just don't know what to do. what would you do and is there anything I can do to reduce the risk during the GA?
Thanks!!
