scarlettohara Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Can you syringe her antibiotics into her mouth - you can't really be sure she is drinking all her water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 I do see her drink and peck at her food, do you think I should still syringe it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yes because she will got the whole dose at once and it will work quicker - it's normally about 0.4 ml per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 The evidence says it's more effective taken across the day than in divided doses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 May sound strange, but a thought has crossed my mind. Could worms have this effect? Although, she is coughing etc occasionally.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 They could. Weight loss and a hunched appearance are typical of a worm infestation. I would speak to your vet though re treating her for worms whilst she is on antibiotics. it isn't always a good idea to bombard them with medication.
