This is something we have been dealing with for over 6 years now with, Pepe.
He was on Baytril for over 2 months & he was getting no better. Then the vet changed him over to, Septrin, 1.5ml twice a day. That didn't work at all. He started to lose the white discharge from his nose. I took him to the vets again last Friday & the vet gave him, Depocillin injection & said to repeat in a weeks time. Since he had that injection, he is going down hill. He isn't eating or drinking hardly anything. I took him back yesterday & the vet gave him an injection of, Vetergesic, injection of Metacam, injection of Zantac, injection of Metoclopramide. He said within 24 hours he should pick up, but he is no better. He is eating nothing & I am feeding him the Supreme science recovery by syringe. I picked him up & he is losing weight fast, I can now feel his bones.
I am started to panicking now. I am scared if I feed to much of the recovery that I will course him to get bloat. I will take him back again tomorrow to the vets & I know they will keep him in. The vet said that they would have to take a scan of his head plus put a camera up his nose to make sure there is nothing stuck up in his nose.
The day he had the injection of Depocillin, the vet tried to look up his nose with the light. I know how much this upset him & I knew he would be offish, but not like this. He is not a rabbit that you can cuddle, he likes to left along & is scared of people. All this travlling to the vets & being handle is making him worry.
Can anyone help me please. I need to know what I can do to get him eating right away. he did eat some dandelion leaves but he nothing else.
Many many thanks.
