Snowy has pasteurella

Yesterday I noticed Snowy's breathing was noisy and she had a lbit of a snotty nose . I took her to the vet where she was diagnosed with pasteurella and will need at least a month of antibiotics. They vet has said it's in the early stages. I'm taking Snowy back to the vet tomorrow. She's 7 years old and has never been ill before. She's had a problems with her teeth, but nothing major. As far as I'm aware nothing has stressed her, her companion bun Bandit is fine. Snowy is eating as usual but has been producing excess caecotrophs, but I'm guessing this could be the antibiotics upsetting her gut? If anyone has any advice I'd be grateful.

It's possible it's the antibiotics. They do all sorts of things to poos. I hope the antibiotics get on top of it for her.

I hope your Snowy bun feels better very soon xxx

Sending lots of vibes for Snowy bun xx

I agree. A probiotic should help though.

Or maybe just making the caecotrophs smell unappealing to her? :mrgreen: Agree probiotics should help. :wave:

I've ordered some Avipro Plus. Back to the vet later today for another injection.

Sorry to hear about Snowy

Thanks everyone. She seems well, is eating and is her usual bossy self. I can't hear her breathe now either. I think she's going to be fine.
