Adult Guinea Pig
Hi there,
Wondered if someone could help.
I noticed my boy Homer had a slight head tilt yesterday and when running upstairs he appeared to be veering to the right - so i made an emergency appointment with my local pdsa.
They checked his eyes and ears and took some swabs - everything appeared to be fine (so signs of ear infection or ear mites) but to be on the safe side they have prescribed me with Enrofloxacin (Baytril) - 0.5ml to be given once per day (i think they've given me 5 days worth).
As i know some anti-biotics can be harsh on guinea pigs - is there anything i should be giving him besides the meds and is there anything i should look out for?
He's been eating and drinking and appears to be very normal in himself.
