RNS help - cannot shift it

ibizathetort · 19-09-2012, 09:38 AM

Hi guys

I have a hatchling with RNS, I have been to see a specialist vet and done a course of antibiotics but its just not shifting.

So far she has had antibiotic nose drops once a day
She is in isolation
Keeping her warm with a ceramic heater at night

The thing that baffles me is she is perfectly well otherwise, eating lots and putting on weight, very active

Is there anything else I can try?

What antibiotic were you giving? Are you keeping her at a constant 30C?

I can't remember off the top of my head Danny will check tonight and post back, yes she is being kept at 30C day and night

If it's not shifting, you might have to go with a course of injecting antibiotics.

Ciloxan is the antibiotics she's on now

**egyptiandan64** · 20-09-2012, 01:25 PM

So Ciprofloxacin, which is the next generation up from Enrofloxacin (Baytril). Might want to change to Ceftazidime or a combination of Enrofloxacin and Ceftazidime.

Thanks Danny can I get these over the counter, any human forms ie?

As far as I know you will need a prescription for both of them.

Just a quick update - I was given a course of injecting antibiotics(given by myself-yikes!) and she is much much better!
