Absolutely gutted

Long day today - down to Swansea to see Lance Jepson, exotics vet who kindly fitted us in. Health check for all 6 of the new Iberias, two have developed "bubbly noses" and wheezing. All sorts of tests done, have to wait a week for the results - RNS, Herpes etc. All I need to do now is get their mouths open for the Baytrill, couldn't face the thought of injecting them

hope they will all be ok!

mattjstar1 · 25-09-2013, 09:06 PM

hope it all works out fine for all your little ones x

Have you asked the vet about nebulising them? & maybe using f10?

Catwoman63 · 25-09-2013, 11:21 PM

Lynne, sorry to hear that, some strong antibiotics and TLC will do the trick, let us know how it goes x

This is a new one on me

Where do you get a nebuliser, any more info - I'll try anything to get my troop back to their happy robust little selves

Nebuliser from chemist direct...or e bay! When you get one you will need f10 and a travel box or polystyrene box to place tort in for treatment.
Change there substrate to coir or newspaper.
Willing to help if your stuck?

I used the end of a teaspoon to get Bellas mouth open when I had to give her medicine, it seemed to make it a lot less stressful I put the end in her mouth got the syringe ready turned the spoon sideways to leaver her mouth open and popped the syringe in. Hope your torts are better soon x
