Wheekallweek
Adult Guinea Pig
So Teddy is back from the vets.
For those of you who don’t know Teddy, he was surrender to us with pneumonia after having sneezing and breathing problems for two weeks. One of his lungs is damaged.
This morning he went downhill quite quickly so went to the vets.
He has been on oxygen for six hours but it didn’t really seem to help.
Conscious x rays were done to compare the the previous ones but his breathing was so heavy they weren’t clear enough to see anything.
At one point he was cyanotic.
He has had injectable antibiotics and will start oral baytril, and as soon as it arrives he will also start doxycycline. We will also give bisolvon to reduce the mucus in his airways.
He is already on anti inflammatories.
I tried nebulising him last night but it seemed to make him worse
He is still struggling and I hate that I can’t do anything more for him. If the oxygen helped I would take him somewhere to be on it overnight but it didn’t.
He is a little wobbly.
Poor Teddy boy. Please pray for him
