Sending laods of vibes from here for poor little Gemini. I hope that he starts to recover soon. xx
Sending loads more vibes for Gemini.
I am wondering if it may be that a different abx could prove to be more beneficial. Also, I am afraid I cannot recall if he has ever had any treatment with Fenbendazole. As you know EC can also cause head tilt. I really hope that Gemini will start to improve ASAP. In the meantime I dont know if you may find any of these links useful. You have probably already read them, but I'll post then again just in case

Pets Mum, Zoobec, Kattymieoww,
Thank you for the additional vibes.
I was so glad when I posted that he was improving. The next morning, I noticed he stopped eating his pellets and hay once again. Yesterday I thought he looked like his head tilt may be returning too. He is still on all his meds so I don't know why he stopped improving. On the plus side, he is nibbling on his greens and I give him Critical Care syringe feeds which he takes well.
Perhaps now the vet will consider prescribing a stronger antibiotic. I also will ask for some meds like Meclezine in case he is getting dizzy.
My Gemini is such a sweet soul and he is very loved so I cannot think of him not beating this illness.
Please send me and my boy some more vibes.
Oh no sending lots more vibes xx
Thank you. It is 5:30am and worry keep me from getting much rest. I know I have to stay positive, yet it can be so difficult.
