Yafe - Albino Carpet Progression Thread

Assuming no med changes, and he keeps improving, I plan to offer food on Monday night (the night after his 4th injection) so he has two days to digest before his 5th injection on Wednesday night. Worst case, he doesn't eat, but I want him to have some strength to fight the rest of the RI off with the help of the meds. If he eats, even better, and he will really be feeling better and on the road to a full recovery. If not, I'll offer again in a week.....

When I looked up Ceftazidime, one of the side effects listed is nausea; are you sure it's a good idea to feed him while on this drug? (did the vet say one way or the other?) If you do feed him, I'd keep it much smaller than what you'd normally give.

The vet said that if he's feeling better and willing to eat, I could feed him. However, I speak to her tomorrow (hopefully) about the culture results, and I will specifically ask that question again.

I did plan to feed a smaller meal as well; first meal with us, stress, health, etc.

Thank you for the heads up.

I've had to give Ceftazidime aka Fortaz to Harley and Rosey and neither would eat while on it. First and only time Rosey ever declined a meal. So i wouldnt be surprised if Yafe doesnt want to eat. Pretty much any antibiotic is rough for reptiles. Also Fortaz gave Rosey the runs for a few poops.

You can try to offer food but if not interested, i wouldnt bug him with it.
