Tinsel
Wise Old Thumper
Mulberry is now in Week 6 of nodular myxi, and a major worry has been her failure to gain weight. She's been hovering at 2.16kg for at least a fortnight, (he r normal weight is over 2.5kg) and has sometimes gone down to 2.10. She'd been on septrin for over three weeks and my vet wanted to try taking her off it, mindful of the impact of antibiotics on a bun's digestive system, plus it didn't seem as if she was improving. However once we removed the septrin she started getting slightly snuffly. (She's already also on baytril).
Yesterday morning she had a shot of depocillin, which I'll continue at two day intervals. I also gave her some extra vitamin C in her water this morning, and a little echinacea (having read about both here on RU :thumb. I don't know what's done the trick, but I just weighted her (after a meal, but I always do that) and she was up to 2.19 kg!!!!!! She was less than 2.13kg this morning, so is that a significant gain, and does it suggest she's finally turning the corner? :wave:
