Loving rats since 2002.
A week ago, I noticed that Butter Bean wasn't feeling well. I decided to check out his teeth. Sure enough they were crooked but not that bad. But then the next day, he seemed worse so I started him on Baytril. A day later and the whole right side of his face swelled up bad, that's when I knew it was time to visit the vet. She checked his teeth and sure enough, they are crooked but she didn't want to sedate him and cut it because on top of all this stress BB's lungs took a nose dive. He sounds rough. My vet was confidant that Baytril might help BB eat his blocks again and grind down his teeth on his own. No such luck. Sure the swelling when completely down, he's looking good on that side of his face but he's still not eating well. Thank god for that diet gel I got online, that's the only thing he can eat and watered down Oxbow. Yesterday, I noticed his eye is forming a lump in the dead centre. almost looks like pus was going to come out. So back to the vet. So she thinks oddly enough, BB must have two infections going on. One, a molar abscess, but controlled with Baytril and an eye infection on the other side. So now BB is on Baytril, Clavamox, Metacam and eye lubricant. We are going to try and save that eye. But if it keeps getting too ugly, she will remove it, if his lungs get better which they are so far. So keep your fingers crossed for Butter Bean!
Here he is a week ago.
**** If you don't like infected eye pics, don't look down. Although, I don't think they are that bad.
