He seems to be a little fighter so far! Fingers crossed all is well when you get in. But it sounds like you'll need to be firm with the vet when you get there!

Do you ever get the feeling they are conspiring against you?
Glad to hear he's perked up from this morning! Have you decided on taking another goo with him when you go?

It will probably be easier putting it on oats to feed to him, less stressful for everyone involved lol.

He won't eat oats I tried him with them a few times as a treat but he sniffs and runs off the vet was really good and didnt charge me for the consultation only the baytrill which was 9.00. He said we should have been give it last time he dosent know what the other vet was doing by not giving it to us !!

Well at least he sounds like he's better than the last vet? What a strange goo Are there any treats he would eat that the baytril will soak into slightly?

I'm giving up hope with me grey he's injuring everyone the re introduction went fine I put al and Dennis in the top and let them dust bath then put earl in with al and Dennis and he much have missed Dennis I kept mr grey out of the cage for a bit then put him back in.

Glad you got some antibiotics. Baytril shouldn't affect his behaviour and make him sleepy. He could just be tired because his body is fighting the infection.
A slice of nut like brasil nut, or something absorbant like shredded wheat is good for giving medicines.

Shreddies are just smaller shredded wheat really, so it should be fine

Post by animalmadchloe on Nov 18, 2012 19:43:48 GMT

He might have had a drink while you weren't watching? I wouldn't worry too much just yet. They can go a while without drinking!
Has he perked up yet or is he still sleepy?

He's been up had some food, his baytrill a squirt if water a run in his wheel and he had gone to sleep with the others but mr grey has just wound them up again but I think Dennis is still resting. I hope he pulls through!! As much as I have having a favourite he defo is he has such a mischievous look in his eyes!! But since being ill he just looks sad makes me sad too

Well any sort of energy is good, even if it's just for a little bit, you should see some inprovement over the next couple of days and, if not, then I'd probably ring the vet to see if there was anything else he could do. The most important thing is to finish the course of antibiotics (simple advice I know, but you'd be surprised at how many people don't).

Yes I know I'm just sooo worrie he's going to get another nip down there it dosent look very good still and with mr grey savaging every one at the Moment I'm really on edge about Dennis . It's like he's bipolar one minuet he lively and grooming them then next minuet he's biting and attacking them
