Thanks yea, I set a sort of rule for myself, if she stopped eating enough to worry me we would go and get her seen, but this morning, listening to the whimpering pain, it was too much to just leave it alone.

Hopefully she’ll pick up once the meds kick in

 

[DMS260820]

I bet she will. I got good feelings

 

[DMS260820]

She's had her meds. She's hates sulfatrim, so I wash it down with loxicom. This way, she's happy and I know she isn't spitting any sulfatrim out. The important part

 

[DMS260820]

A little thanks from Alfie, he's Dots cousin, he said bernie and Rufus and Dot herself are busy right now, but whilst I have half my face crushed by my fat brother, il say a little thanks to everyone.

Hope Dot feels better soon!

 

[Flutterby]

Sending lots of healing vibes!

 

[DMS260820]

She's had her 2nd dose this morning, still whimpering but that's bound to be still happening. She hasn't lost her appetite which I'm glad about

 

[Bill & Ted]

Sending healing vibes to Dot x

 

[Posyrose]

Glad she's eating. That's the main thing.

 

[DMS260820]

She's eating a huge pile of grass with Bernie right now. She was begging for veg this morning, but through the day she has been just laying about, but so has bernie and guinea pigs are most active during dusk and Dawn, so normal

 

[Merab]

Hope Dot continues to improve

 

[DMS260820]

Not long until 3rd dose of sulfatrim now.

 

[GPTV]

Thanks. She inhales the pain killer (loxicom) and hates the antibiotic sulfatrim

 

[DMS260820]

It's funny to watch, because I do the antibiotic first and then pain killer, when she sees the painkiller syringe coming, she doesn't trust it, until one lick, and then she snatches the syringe tip

 

[DMS260820]

Has any one roughly got an idea of how long sulfatrim might take to start killing a uti? I'm only on the 4th dose at the moment. Basicly day 2, because saturday she got her first dose in the evening and now she's having her first Monday dose.

No idea but hope Dot’s feeling better x

 

[Julie M]

Hope Dot is feeling better soon. I know in humans antibiotics take a few days to start to work so presume it will be the same for piggies.

 

[Piggies&buns]

It takes a couple of days for antibiotics to start working, so anytime about now really

 

[artcasper]

All the best for Dot making a speedy recovery...
Winny was just on antibiotics, Baytril, and she did a proper little face cos it tastes so bad! Coriander treat straight after !
