I just got him from taking Misty and Dexter to the vets... ALL of her RI symptoms have been completely gone for 2 days now... No more gaping whatsoever for the past 2 days and there hasn't been any wheezing ever since the very first of the two 10 minute Vicks/Eucalyptus steam chamber treatments that I did with her. There is something to be said about that, but I agree that it's probably not a great idea... I will definitely be using a fogger with F10 in the future! Anyway, the vet examined her and she did still have lots of little tiny bubbles in the back of her throat. So, he brought in a vitamins/Gentocin antibiotic injection and showed me how to give the injections. He sent me home with 6 more injections and I will have to inject her once every 3 days for the next 18 days... I'm not looking forward to having to do that, but I have no choice, but to put my big boy panties on, man up and do it! As mentioned in Dexter's thread, I will have to administer his medicine orally, So, on the bright side, I will be gaining some really good experience treating these two...
As a side note, since this girl has always been somewhat of a problem feeder, I have decided to switch her from a 41 qt. tub to a 28 qt. for awhile and see if she will start eating more regularly. She is too big for a 28 qt. tub in my opinion, but if it helps her start eating better for awhile... Her weight has dropped from 1,080 grams on 10/11/17 to 995 grams today at the vets, because she has refused a lot of meals. I definitely need to start get some weight on her as soon as she finishes shedding!
