SQ
Senior Member - Vegan for the animals
Debbie was a year old in Aug.
She was treated with baytril in July for uri and it cleared up.
Started treating her with zithro & baytril on Sept 8 as she sounded conjested and was using a lot of effort to breath. Soon after I added lasix twice a day because she sounded like she had fluid in her lungs. She isn't improving, eats little, etc. tho she hasn't lost a great deal of weight - she weighs 315 grams. Added fortekor, and pred Sunday. Took her to the vet on Monday as she was panicked .... over $200 later ... xray showed nothing much ... lungs have some fluid but vet said they looked better than he would have thought after listening to her. Heart didn't look enlarged. He had no suggestions, said I could add clavamox if I want, and said he thinks she has pneumonia.
She seems to be a bit better but ... could be because I am now giving lasix 3 xs/day, the fortekor is starting to work, the pred I increased yesterday, or the fact I am now giving her fluids SQ twice a day.
Any suggestions ???
I am feeling desperate ..... as she isn't getting better ....
Do you think I should add clavamox?
Is there a different antibiotic I should try?
