Hi all,
Unfortunately after a vet visit last week (10 days ago now) I was told my beardie has mouth rot. She has swelling on either side of jaw/gums and inside looks a little yellow-is on the gums. I thinks she has had it for a while as I thought it could be slight MBD but clearly misdiagnosed it (my fault). Anyway, I have been giving her Baytrill every day for the last ten days, as well as using tamodine on the 'affected' areas. She's becoming very stressed, hates it when I give her medication and she licks the tamodine right off. Her gums still look exactly the same and there seems to be no progress at all. I'm really worried about her .
She isn't eating greens (didn't much before anyway) and only eating roaches every now and then. Could she be resistant to baytrill? What can I do guys? I'm seeing the vet again Friday for a check up after the antibiotics should be finished and she should be cleared up by then but that isn't going to happen. After a phone call with the vet he said to stop giving her the medication if its stressing her out too much as its important she still eats. I'm just worried - what can I do? What do you guys recommend?
Thank you!
