Last week I noticed Toby had clear yellow liquid on his nose and one of his wives flora had sniffly issues so presumably she's passed it to Toby! So far blossom if fine though :?
Anyway Toby was treated with a jab of depocillin on Friday night and his poos were small and not good but I put it down to sniffles - Saturday morning Toby was showing signs of stasis so took him straight to vets and he had vetergesic and Zantac and vets said he had gas so continue with Zantac and syringe feed if necessary. He stopped eating so syringe fed for a few days and he's now eating veg and herbs but very slowly (his teeth are ok as just had a dental and was checked sat)
Iv been giving him Zantac twice daily since Friday and today he seems a bit more interested in food and iv managed to tempt him to eat some porridge with mashed banana as he's lost 0.6 kg so going to keep up with that once a day only a small spoonfull.
Anyway my question is now he's eating and pooing (small and sticky poos but he won't eat hay and is favouring veg) he's not in stasis anymore but he's so lethargic still and when he does eat he's chewing so slowly, could this be due to him still having the clear yellow discharge round nose (sniffles) and it's making him feel lethargic and struggling to eat ? Vet has said she is reluctant to treat sniffles as we think the depocillin may have been a big factor in his stasis, I just do not know what to do.
He has been treated for sniffles in the past with oral baytril does anyone know if that would effect him stasis wise? :wave:
