Problem shedding with newspaper?

[MorphMaster]

I have had a handful of animals on antibiotics often injected but the issue is the same. The three day drug cycle messes with feeding. I adjust feeding for just after the drugs I also give drugs in the morning, so say monday am drug, then feed tuesday pm and drugs again thursday am. I would just delay feeding until it fit in the drug cycle.

Your Welcome BTW!

Ok great!!! Youre just all full of help today lol. Well my issue is it's every 48 hr. So I am trying to figure it out. I feed on sat so I should I just do drugs on the day and feed later same day... It's a little weird being 48 hours

That is a little odd the timing and to be honest I have never had a vet say oral meds either. perhaps you could ask for a needle syringe and inject the rodent?

Well she isn't willing to eat now anyways so... Maybe it'd be ok to give med in morning then feed at night right?

Maybe I should just call the vet

O n I had to do oral, cuz I'm 14 and wouldn't have a ride to have them injected so I had to just get oral

Or you can finish the meds and then resume feeding. As long as its not a hatchling, they can go awhile with out eating, with no ill effects, imo.

I'd agree the stress of meds is likely to cancel feeding and offering may be just more stress. Injections are not that hard to give with a helping hand and can be done with difficulty alone. I have done both. Just for future reference. I would suggest weighing the animal and keeping an eye on the weight to make sure there is not a large consistent weight drop.

Ya and another thing that's weird is the bottle of baytril isn't even very full at all... I guess I may have to call the vet if I end up running out:/

Be CERTAIN you are giving the correct dose!!!! It is often quite small, (0.05ml for example it is easy to deliver 0.5 mL incorrectly.) Double check the dose amount and the markings on the syringe.

I mean it says .4 ml by mouth. Maybe I'm just new to this, but there doesn't seem to be a lot. I guess we will just have to find out.

How long is the perscription supposed to last?

Well the vet wanted to do another check up in 2 weeks so maybe they're just trying to figure out what will work best
