Hello,
My BP has a respiratory infection. She makes popping sounds and has thick saliva. I took her to the vet and they said i should give her antibiotic. I have been giving my BP the antibiotic, twice a day, for over 2 weeks now, with little effect. The saliva is not so thick anymore but she still makes the popping sounds.
I removed the substract (aspen) and replaced it with paper towels. I raised the temperature to 32.5 ºC 24h/day. She has clean water and 2 hides.
My BP is about 6 month old. I have her since last December and she was always a good eater. But she has stoped eating since 10 February.
I took her to the vet again yesterday and they prescribed a desinfectant for the mouth and said i should continue giving her the antibiotic.
She lost 20 grams in 2 weeks.
Is there anything else i can do? I'm a little desperate.
