I am currently treating my little 460g enchi for a minor RI. Initially we (the vet and I) tried an antibiotic that is only injected once. This did not completely clear everything up (it did get a little better though) so we are currently trying a different medication that I need to inject every 3 days. His next injection also falls on feeding day. We are about half way through the injections and so far he's still been eating really well for me, but I've been feeding him smaller pray items than I normally would, 1 rat pup instead of a weaned rat.
Should I try to feed him tomorrow even though he's also going to be getting an injection as well? I know the injections are stressful for him and I don't want to make tomorrow any worse for him than it has to be.
I know some people don't feed while they are treating a RI, but his is still extremely mild. He has no mucus and his glottis is not inflamed/irritated (I'm not sure what the right word is to use here >__<), which is why I have still been offering him food during treatment so far.
