Sat she got an injection of baytril
Sun her temp 103.
Monday her temp 103.6 and I couldn't get my vet and started her on tucoprim
Tue he said he would be out and bring me more tucprim. He didn't show up and the house vet gave me SMZ. Her temp now 101.6 and she's so much better
This morning we gave her a 2nd dose. My vet just drops in. I call to update him and he's gone. Finally about 4 he calls and says she's getting better and gave her more baytril. When he's at the barn he's good as gold but on the phone he acts like he has ants in his pants. Anyway he told me the sulfa won't hurt her but thinks the baytril working and told me to stop the SMZ and if she starts getting sick again to start her back. I was uncomfortable with that but my husband and I got into a fuss caz he said I was vet shopping and why use a vet if I'm not going to follow his advice. It wasn't like that though. I couldn't find him and I told him what I had done. Then my husband calls me back and says maybe I was right and we should give it to her a few more days or just half dosage. We talked and both agreed that wasn't a good idea caz we could get a super bug so...we wait and see. I don't know
if the baytril kicked in
if it was the sulfa
or if the disease has just run it's course
Or if it was a combination of all three :~D
When he said stop, did he say there was a risk of giving both? or did he just think it not important?
Hmmmmm, just my opinion but it doesn't sound like the baytril was working and the other stuff did.
Did you ever get a definitive diagnosis? If you did, do a google search and see what other people used.
