Search results for query: diuretic uri

It does sound like it could be a URI so they need to see a vet. Ask about antibiotics (you would need probiotics too), Bisolvon if they have mucous in their nasal passages and diuretic if they have fluid on their chests. The coughing can be linked to a heart issue but if more than one is doing...

Hi and welcome! If the sneezing has been ongoing since you brought them home, you can reclaim the vet cost from the shop together with their sales receipt. URI is not at all rare in young guinea pigs with a not yet quite fully developed immune system, especially if you are having them as...

Yes, there have been concerns reported about adverse reactions to convenia in guinea pigs, but as it is not a frequently prescibed antibiotic, there is not yet much official information pro or contra about it. If in doubt, please seek a second opinion. @Pebble The heaving is an indication of a...

Wishing you all the best. Please see a vet as an emergency if your guinea pig is lethargic and doesn't eat; don't dawdle! Raspy breathing needs also to be addressed promptly, as some strains of URI can kill quite quickly. You do not need to always see all symptoms! PS: Loss of appetite is...

OK -having read through the whole thread it sounds like you are going through the classic situation for a piggie slave with a piggie who has developed a URI leading to pneumonia and now has the associated problems in terms of reduced poo output/gut motility etc. This is not unusual - and in...

What a shock, glad he is on the mend though. Is he on anti-inflammatories? If it is a URI Children's Sudafed would help the symptoms but he would need antibiotics to clear it. Please get him checked by the vet. If he is snuffly ask for Bisolvon too which helps clear any mucous. Also get them to...

We haven't had him outside yet as we need to re-guinea-pig-proof the garden, but he has had some hand picked grass and dandelion leaves, he doesn't seem to be in any pain either, could it still be a UTI? Thank you, Sid.

If you can, ask for Septrin, though I know some vets prefer to go down the Baytril route first. Zithromax is also effective. I think a standard course is about 2 weeks but it is that long since I used Baytril that I could be wrong. You could always ask for more in case, so you can give a further...

Hi! Please have the other boy seen tomorrow morning; URI is highly infected, especially in young guinea pigs hwose immune system is still developing and that have just undergone several major changes to their young lives! Please also ask your vet for some bisolvon powder to help dissolving the...

how is little bacon doing my jerry has the same symptoms he has a uri upper respiratory infection or a really bad cold, and fluid on his lungs he is only a baby of 6 months and he has had this uri twice now, once in the pet shop we had to wait 2 weeks to take him home, now he has it again, he...

Thanks for the update Jenny. Has she tried any furosemide at any point? It's a diuretic and removes fluid from the lungs. It may be worth mentioning to the vet next time you go.. It helped Cookie shift a stubborn URI this year. Cuddles and vibes to Honor x

Has she got any diuretics or bisolvon to help get any remaining mucus out of the system? I would continue with the offering her steamed water to help ease her breathing. A narrowed air way can make the breathing louder and more noticeable when a piggy relaxes; I see that in one of my sows...

I wonder about resistence, too. I would also recommend to trial any of the antibiotics that @helen105281 has recommended. Sadly, only baytril is officially licensed, so you will have to sign a form for any of the recommended stronger antibiotics, which are all safe to use in guinea pigs. See...

Thank you for replying! The vet prescribed a antibiotic (and probiotic) for the foot as well as the URI. Luckily it hasn't progressed far enough that Autumn has stopped eating, so no critical care is needed, but I have some in the fridge just in case. I trust the vet, but I'm a little nervous...

Hi and welcome! Please see a vet as soon as you can! One of your piggies has got a fully blown URI (upper respiratory tract infection) and possibly pneumonia and urgently needs an antibiotic. URIs can kill. Please also ask your vet for a diuretic if the lungs are congested, as well as some...

Hello everyone I need some advice please. I've just taken my piggy to vet and they think it's a URI. She's had an injection of antibiotics, a diuretic and I have to give her a 1/8th (bd)of a 20mg of ronoxan. She went about 2 hours ago and I have her in the house with me. She's just sitting...

Please have him seen asap as an emergency by your closest out-of-hours vet; you can get the number off your local vet's answering machine. URI is very much an illness that hits when the immune system is already compromised. If that is the case, it needs immediate action as it is likely to hit...

You may find this thread here helpful; it also lists probiotics and vitamin C products, either of which your piggy will benefit from: https://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/complete-hand-feeding-guide.115359/ We always recommend to ask your vet for a diuretic with a chest infection to help...
