OK What is going on with Haley! Help! Everyone Needed! PG 2!

[jorats]

I too would try Clavamox.

Ok so I have her on Baytril and the Clavamox. Hopefully this helps and it's not an internal abscess. Her belly abscess is very nicely healed and looks great and feels good.

 

Be sure to give probiotics with Clavamox ..don't make the mistake I did! (and probiotics have to be given at least 2 hours away from medications)

Fingers crossed for your sweet girl.

Could it be an allergic reaction to meds or certain foods? I had a rat who would bloat when eating veggies especially corn. Good luck with your sweetie.

Would she stay bloated for weeks? It's the same food she has been eating since I got her. And she wasn't on any meds. So I have no idea what it could be. I'll cut the corn out and give peas only. I gave them green and yellow beans a little while ago could that be it?

So you palpated her belly and found nothing abnormal? The bloated belly does it feel gassy and squishy? Did she bloat suddenly? An abscess or mass inside would be hard.
Or does she just have this big fat belly that is worrying you?

I found nothing and neither did both vets. Her bells feels squishy but tight. She bloated over 2 days. And yes her belly is worrying me.

If the vets didn't find anything I would cut out all veggies and fruits and just gave her blocks for the next few days. Anything "toy" she could have ingested when this happened? Wood or foam?

Maybe bring her down to the BRAT diet (very easy on the tum) and see if the bloat goes. If so then add food items back into her diet slowly and see if you can figure out what makes her bloat up.

BRAT diet is ;

Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast

 

[MaryCayden]

Ok I will definitively try that. It's gonna be hard when she steals everything haha

 

[Joanne]

Just checking in after the long weekend. How is Haley doing now on the BRAT diet?

 

[MaryCayden]

I only could start giving her the stuff last night. I had to get groceries. So i will let you know

I dont think so. I know theres infection in there as thr vet found it when they aspirated her abdomen. But shes pooping and eating fine.
