So all of my boys are home. Medicine list is crazy. I’m still medicating Odin twice a day and eye drops 3 times a day.

now Loki:
-metacam twice a day
-cisapride twice a day
-metaclomopride three times a day
-doxycycline once a day
-frusol twice a day

Rocket
-metacam twice a day
-emeprid three times a day
-cisapride twice a day

Thor, Banner, Stark and Odin never caught the respiratory problems. I’m just really hoping it stays that way. I worry for Odin mostly with him being weaker.
Though they have been exposed to it this entire time, so maybe they would have had it by now?
 
Thank you all. They all seem much better. Just not Loki. He’s very lethargic and flat. Maybe it’s the doxycycline again :( but need to get the resp problem under control
 
They all live in the same space so I’m just praying the Odin, Stark, Thor and Banner don’t get the resp infection that Rocket and Loki have had! They have all been together this entire time though, so I’m hoping that maybe they are just carriers of it
 
We had a phone call tonight. Our beautiful Loki has passed whilst in hospital. His breathing deteriorated and the vet thinks it was something more sinister underlying.
We are beyond heart broken and have no words 💔💔💔
 
So sorry that you lost Loki.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve.
It’s been a real rollercoaster of emotions for you with your piggies.
 
So sorry you’ve lost Loki, I pray that all your remaining poorly piggies make a full recovery
 
Oh no! So sorry you lost Loki. You have done all you could for your piggies. You must be exhausted and so emotional right now. Everything will seem unreal and out of perspective right now. Give yourself time to come to terms with what has happened and be gentle on yourself. Your piggies are very lucky to have you as a loving and caring owner.
 
I am so sorry for the loss of Loki. You did everything possible to try and make him well. Loki was so loved. I am heartbroken with you.
 
I'm so sorry you lost Loki. Take comfort from knowing you gave him the best care a piggy could ask for and you fought so hard for him. You must be so exhausted and emotional, be gentle with yourself. Sleep tight Loki ❤️❤️❤️🌈
 
I’m so sorry the wonderful Loki has passed away. He ...and you have had such a journey. Take of yourself,your family and the other piggies - you know you are a devoted piggie owner and did all you could for Loki. Sending you all much love and thoughts💔💝
 
I’m so sorry for your loss, you did everything you could for Loki and he was such a well loved piggie❤️❤️
 
Odin has stopped eating again :(
He was doing so well but he’s acting like he was when this first started. Scratching at his eye, shaking his head, chewing funny. There is still a little swelling beneath his eye so I wonder if the abscess is still there and bothering him?
I still have Zithromax in the fridge if he needs to go back on, but it’s probably out of date?
Maybe I can ring Kim for advice tomorrow? 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
 
Oh gosh I am sorry to hear this. I would call Kim and ask for advice. She'll be able to tell you whether to use the zithromax that you have or not. Fingers firmly crossed for Odin
 
I have just spoken to the receptionist who said she will have to speak to Kim when she gets in and call me back.
he’s definitely acting how he was when all of this started. Interested in food but struggles to eat, scratching at his right eye and tossing his head a lot.
Plus that little bit of swelling under his eye socket.
maybe the abscess is still brewing under there?
 
Still not heard anything :( my own exotic vet isn’t much help as they wont discuss treatment over the phone and don’t have appointments till Thursday.

I am supposed to be going to work but don’t want to leave him if he’s not eating :(

not sure what to do
 
Kim will ring when she has a break from consults. They are just so busy there at the moment. When is Odin due back for a dental? We had great results with a retrobulbar abscess using a combination of Marbocyl and Metronidazole. Maybe that could be tried, if Zithromax was causing issues for Odin x
