Glad to hear she is OK :)

Sorry your vet isn't too happy, but you are paying him for a service, so I guess you're entitled to query something if you're worried about it? ;)
 
Thank you! :) shes still sneezy and in need of something tho!

I think the new one is called Trimethoprim (kind of a older drug apparently) but I may of misheard,

and I agree completely! better to slightly annoy him then harm marnie! plus he should be happy there getting a extra £14 pound from me lol

Yes, Trimethoprim Sulpha is a well established drug. I am sure you are right :)
 
he said less risk, but might mean not as good results.. trying this willbetter then putting marnie at a unessasery risk in my eyes

thank you max :D
 
What dose rate of baytril has been given? The text books often say 5-10mg/kg twice a day - my vet prescribes 20mg/kg once a day and finds it very effective at this higher dose. Its mode of action is dependent on peak concentration so a higher dose once a day is more effective than a lower dose twice a day. If the swab showed sensitivity to baytril it may be better to discuss sticking to it but at a different dose. Sulfatrim is inactivated by pus so tends not to work well for snotty/nasal type infections as it can't get to the root of the infection. Good luck with your little one x
 
Hey max!!! She’s still sneezing bless her, still waiting for the new Medicean tho! Hopefully Wednesday :) But we’ve moved her and Declan from the kitchen to living room so she seems happy she has more space to run about! And a tad warmer :D

But I’ve noticed that she licks her hutch bars a lot, and Declan doesn’t so gonna give them a clean mabey that’s something to do with the bacteria, probs not but can’t hurt ayy!

Your right, the licking is unlikely to be related to the bacteria.

I am glad she is enjoying her life with at the moment though :)

Do you find the sneezing is the same whichever room/place she is in?
 
She’s loving the extra running space aha :)

And yeah sneezing where where ever she settles down, he only time she’s not is if she’s running about or sitting on my lap!
