I made this thread lastnight on another board. I'm just going to link it and ill give a summary here
http://www.chinchillaworld.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10367&p=69709Yesterday, one of my chins was taken to the exotic vet. She has a vaginal infection.
Long story short i have to give her .27 of baytril once a day for seven days.
Other than that she is in perfect health. No issues with her weight, breathing, teeth, etc.
I would like some advice from people that have had to use baytril.
I wasn't able to go to the vet yesterday but my wife took the chin and told me all the vet told her.
The only thing that really concerns me is what do i use as a probiotic?
Is it absolutely necessary to use a probiotic along with the baytril?
I have read in past threads on here to wait 3 hours after to give a probiotic.
Is there anymore up to date info?
If i choose yogurt will i need to get sugar free yogurt?
My chin isn't out of the woods yet but hopefully we caught it early enough. The pus was still coming out which is a good thing.we administered the first dose of baytril yesterday. A drop was wasted so it was more like .24 than .27. Will that make a huge difference? Also, is there any tricks or tips to not get any air bubbles in the syringe whem dealing with such small amounts? Basically we just would get one drop at a time on the tip of the syringe and then put it in the chins mouth.(to make sure all the air was out)
This is a first for syringe feeding and baytril. I have some critical care coming
