Okay, will do! His appetite is normal, which I'm happy about! He's been eating super worms, red peppers, yellow squash and leafy greens :)

I will :) I'm actually not sure what the antibiotic is that the vet gave him... He didn't mention a name. Going back Friday for the next injection so I can ask then. Does anyone know if there is anything I can be doing to make it easier on his liver? Will more fluids help? (I quite successfully...

Hi Tracie! Thanks for your concern :) I think the vet visit went well. We decided to get him a "broad spectrum antibiotic" shot, and will be returning to get another shot every three days until the infection looks cleared. I had the choice between the shots or an oral antibiotic, but the vet...

Thanks for the info! Yes, I am taking him to a local vet today. Crossing my fingers that a new antibiotic will help him!

Okay, so it's been a while since I posted in here about Merlin. I thought he was doing better, since I stopped giving him the Baytril. I was hoping that the 5 or so days that was on it would be enough to clear up his infection. (He had been shaking and having what appeared to be seizures so I...

Wow. Someone must have messed up... I'm thinking it should have been .1 mL instead of 1 mL. Thank you for the info! I feel awful now that I've basically poisoned him. I just hope he can pull through and get it all flushed out.

Wow! .1 or .2 is definitely a lot less than 1! I obsessively checked the dosage on the bottle and double checked with the vet and it was supposed to be 1 mL. I hope he wasn't mistakenly prescribing 1 and meant .1!! Now I feel terrible:( I will continue to try giving him fluids and hopefully it...

I hope so!! He was prescribed 1 mL of Baytril per day, and I had been giving him that from Tuesday-Friday. Yesterday I stopped his meds. He weighs about 12.5 ounces.

Okay, well today he is very lethargic. I haven't seen him eat or drink so I'm trying to drop a little water on his nose. He doesn't seem very interested. And I am noticing that his beard looks a little darker than usual.... What does that mean?

Thanks everyone. His beard doesn't seem to be a different color than usual. Not very dark at night. Right now he is sleeping and his toes are twitching slightly. :( poor little guy. Tomorrow I will try to give him some water orally if I don't see him drink on his own. I gave him a nice soak in...

Please help! My beardie had a swollen foot with puss, so I took him to a vet who prescribed Baytril (that's the generic name I think? It has a longer name that starts with an E) He has seemed fine for the past four days on the medication, only slightly less active. But today he threw up and has...
