My two new boys. Filthy, sneezy, and aggressive.

I'm glad to hear that you are making progress!

So just a small update. Frankie is absolutely darling and the sweetest of them all. Lecter still bites but only if you stick your fingers in the cage or in his face. (he seems to go on defense mode) He will sometimes back away and if not he bites and squeaks at you. He does allow scritches when he is sleepy and eating and I handle him now (Usually when I take him to and from the playpen.) I am just very careful to not get my fingers near his mouth, and take care in making sure he doesn't feel threatened. I was able to clean his tail which was covered in feces, scabs and it has a kink. I also got them a much bigger cage. It doesn't seem like Lecter will ever stop biting, but I am okay with that as long as he is happy.

Sebastian still makes honking noises despite being on an increased dose of Doxy and Baytril. I may just stop the abs on week 3 and determine what to do if he gets worse or not. Unless anyone else has a better idea...

I would try Zithro, but it's much more difficult for me to get as it costs a lot and right now I am trying to save up for Gremlin's tumor removal.

Great update! How long has he been on meds? Maybe it's allergies?

I'm so glad the boys are more manageable for you now.
Have you tried Benedryl for Sebastian?
