Hi Suze,
Thanks so much for this. I am in mid cornwall, and no, the vet was not a specific rep vet.....we don't get much of that in Cornwall I don't think! If you know of any rep vets down here I would be very interested. It is years since I had to take one of my torts to a vet (like more than 20 years!) and so I guess a lot has changed in that time. My vets (I have other pets) are brilliant though and very willing to help.
So I could carry on with the Baytril at the same dose for a few more days then? It has certainly helped as he is now only taking a mouth breath every 20 secs or so, and sometimes goes for much longer periods without doing it at all. He seems to do it more when I disturb him or just after his meds (which he is drinking from a syringe really well, bless him).
I am thinking to increase his D3 and calcium uptake....I have just ordered a more specific UVB bulb and I am wondering whether to switch from Nutrobal to something else? What do you think?
Thanks for helping.
