Possible pasturella advice please

We took Blossom to the vets about a week ago as she didn't seem right. She had a clear nose passage and good teeth and we thought it might be pasturella flairing a little bit as the group is a little bit tense at the moment (Skittles hormones started up) but she's been spayed today. So when we pick her up I'll mention it to my vet as he did say if she isn't right then he might pescribe something just to keep anything at bay.....well, her left eye is a little runny/wet with a very thin clear fluid (like tears). Maybe its because I've brought her inside for a few days/night? She's hopping about fine and eating well. She just seems so, for lack of a better word....moody! and stubborn :roll: She is the group leader after all I guess!

If you are bringing her in, she will have to stay in until march/april as she will shed her winter coat and will be extremely cold :(
 
Bringing them in for a few days and back out again aggrevates respiratory problems.

This. A runny eye is classic of temperature change. I have to feed Grim separately and he comes into my unheated kitchen for his medicine etc and even that has set him off a bit.
 
Well I thought about this but my vet said it shouldn't be settling it off like this IF it is pasturella. We're still putting down to group dynamics, but the moderator has changed the title to pasturella for some reason. She's fine and she'll be happy back outside...and to be honest....there isn't really much of a choice of her going back out
 
If she goes outside after being in a heated house for 5 days, you are asking for her respiratory issues to flare up and for her to possibly suffer as a consequence. Many of us have learnt this the hard way, which is why we may seem so blunt with the facts, but sometimes, when it's an issue close to our hearts and we have knowledge, it seems so wasteful for others to learn the hardway too.

Bringing them in for 5 days wont do that I don't think:lol:

I think perhaps it may be worth you doing some research into this before you comment like that, and laugh about it.
