I took Ozzy to the vets on Friday because his poos had gone very soft, borderline diarrhea, and his appetite had declined. He and Ralph had been having daily veg and grass prior to this so I stopped that too.
The vet said his abdomen was a bit tender as he reacted when he touched it. He prescribed Loxicom 0.3ml daily), Baytril (0.5ml daily) and Emeraid recovery feed (1ml every four hours). He wasn't my usual exotic vet (I stupidly didn't request by name when I booked the appointment) and having read concerns about Baytril on here I'm now a bit worried about giving it, am I just panicking for no reason?
Also, I hadn't heard of Emeraid and so would like to hear if anyone has been prescribed it before. It's packed with good stuff but 1ml every four hours seems such a small amount!
I gave Ozzy some grass this evening and he ate that but still concerned at his lack of appetite. Should I trust that the Emeraid is doing its job or move to Critical Care?
