She's much happier now, is bringing shavings up to her hammock again :doh: and has started huffing and puffing at rats outside of her cage again like she used to :joy:

The drive by Sharlee and her husband really did the trick so he wasn't as stressed by the trip. :joy: I am to continue the baytril/zithro and give the dex like before every 3 days. We are going to try nebulizing again with Flower and see if he does better with his friend. We discussed further options, what the pulm abscesses are like (there's a film over the lungs that actually the bacteria lurk in, but if you can get rid of the film the bacteria goes with it...THIS is why the hypertonic saline is so important. He is going to look back into Mucomyst but right now its on back order. We may even try clavamox and baytril to see if that works in the future
Dr Munn said it was soo nice to see me with a live rat. :giggle:
He assumed the big fat white one was the patient, and I said no...its this fellow. He seemed surprised and said "Really? He looks good!" I said "listen to his lungs.." So he did, and then that concerned face all owners who deal with Dr Munn knows shows up...I told him how worried I had been about the stress of the public transit trip, and that Shar had taken pity on me and driven both of us so he wouldn't get so stressed. I still believe that we would've had to euth him if I had taken the bus/subway/bus to the clinic yesterday (Thank you Jim and Shar!!)
