Hi
I posted recently as Spudsey appeared to be having perhaps an acid reflux due to perhaps her long term metacam dose. My vet gave her ranitidine which seemed to do the trick, however she started doing it again so she was prescribed it again. However in the last week she has suddenly starting sounding awful, I put snoring in the subject but if you have ever heard a hedgehog snuffling around for food, that's what she sounds like. She is also regularly making a retching sound, and last night I noticed she had some hay hanging out of her mouth which had a brown mucus on it, and I could see brown around her mouth as well.
She saw the vet last week and she recommended nebulising her for five days and if no better or sounding worse to give baytrill, my vet was going on holiday at the weekend for three weeks so gave me the baytril in case needed. I did a few nebulising sessions but she was sounding no better so I have started with the baytril.
Spudsey is nearly 12.
Has anyone got any idea what could be going on? She is eating, grooming and behaving as normal otherwise.
