Hey everyone!
My almost 4 year old English Spot called Penny has stopped eating Wednesday the 4/5/2022. Brought her to our vet on the same day and they gave me Loxicom and Ranitidine including Critical Care to feed her and she started to fully go back to normal until Sunday morning, where she started to lose balance and her eyes were darting from left to right constantly. Brought her to an emergency vet, who started treatment from E Cuniculi. On the monday after that, we brought her to her regular exotic vet who booked us a CT Scan for Tuesday which we also did. It's confirmed that she does not have an Ear Infection BUT the E. Cuniculi is still waiting for confirmation but we are fully in the treatment plan now. She stayed two days in the hospital, where she has been doing better, according to the vets but she is still falling over and is very wobbly when walking. That being said, her head tilt is very mild and the symptoms are mild as well according to the hospital. Is this normal for the time frame where we have been treating her for E. Cuniculi? And as well, she has stopped eating completely during the day, she might be nibbling on some hay over night, which we cannot monitor. She does produce very limited amount of poops, compared to her small mount every 4-5 hours. We do give her Critical Care 3-4 times daily. She loved taking pellets out of our hands, now she is just hiding in the house and looks a bit "stressed" when walking around and wobbling. It is definitely better than sunday. Medication she gets 2x a day is:
-Loxicom
-Something to make her not nauseous
-Gut mover to get her to eat
-Eye drops
And in the morning she is getting Panacur. With, as menitioned 3-4 Critical Care feedings, around 15ml.
I guess my question is what we can do to make her eat by herself again and when we can expect her to be a bit better on her feet, as she does look stressed and doesn't look happy.
Thanks!
