Well, we're on another change of medications. Roy is no longer ever, ever allowed to have Doxycycline. The vet thinks that Doxy is the reason Roy has been feeling like **** and wouldn't eat this entire time, because it's the only common element in it all and the one day he WOULDNT eat it he was much perkier, eating his blocks, etc by the time I got home from work. Not his words, but something like a rat allergy. Basically, we think Doxy makes him sick. :\
Now, we're on Metronidazole, Baytril, and Dexamethasone. Finally, a steroid :joy:
Metro is twice a day, and Baytril is once a day. Just to help spread it out since the vet knows that once he has a certain amount of meds, he doesn't want anymore(Three meds at once + the two he gets once a day... By the time I tried getting the third med into him, Roy was going "Noooo No moooore!") It's just easier to spread it out throughout the day for him).
AND! With no doxy, he can have calcium and I don't have to worry! The little bugger would only take meds in pablum(60% calcium) AND Ensure(27%) ... little bugger
