Flagyl treatment

Beverley · 30-11-2010, 12:48 AM

I was just wondering is this usually administered by injection and how long would treatment take. I am going to ring the vet tomorrow so I want to be prepared,
The roads here are so bad at the moment that taking pepper the Chaco up may not be possible for a day or two.
On the bright side he is a little brighter and has started to eat a teeny bit of food and has went up from 312g to 330g. This may be the regular baths in Reptiboost as well.

Yes it's given orally Beverley

I'm glad Pepper is gaining weight, that is a good sign.

I am off to vets tomorrow but don't hold out much hope for a good result

today Pepper passed green urine I am trying to convince myself that it's bathing in Abidec that has done it but probably not

I was devastated when I saw it as it has passed clear urine a couple of times.
If it's liver disease is it curable?
No eating at all yesterday or today it's not good.

Thanks Rachael, I am really worried now. He has lost weight again it's up and down all the time. I was out with him their and he did walk over to the food himself and eat a little. I just hope I can make it to Belfast with the weather it will take a couple of hours
