Hi all,
The other day I posted about Bart having some snot/sneezing going on.
Anyway yesterday we managed to get him into the vets and after being a git at the vets he was diagnosed with the snuffles! The vet explained it is something that lives in them and can be brought on by stress, but he's had a stress free life... not sure what could have changed around him.
Fast forward to this morning, and we tried to give him his .5ml of baytril and he would not have ANY of it! We tried on the floor [laminate, slidy so he can't get away], the rug, the sofa, his bed, his cage, nothing! He would not let us anywhere near him with the syringe, any time we got close he wriggled like nothing else and managed to get away.
I didn't want to hold him too tight incase I hurt him so I don't know what to do?! We're going to phone the vets today unless somebody has some good ideas and say we can't give him the baytril orally because he runs at the speed of light!
Any ideas guys?! We want our fuzz ball to be well again, I cleared snot off his shnozz this morning
