Chin Slave
My chin had a URI a month or so ago, while at the vet he also did some minor tooth work. he really never recovered. may have been the way i administed the meds but i took him saturday to E-vet as i noticed he was gasping for air and he was diagnosed with pneumonia as well as he has sores in his mouth.
i had started him on baytril late friday night and dosed him again before vet on saturday so he has me continuing with the liquid baytril, but he also added injectible Amakacin. (plus metacam and i added cisapride) i have never heard of that nor have i ever given any of my chins anything injectible. the needles were prefilled and i am to give him that and baytril, twice a day for i think 14 days. he seems better already, at least not gasping. he is also being syringe fed and is actually taking way more than i thought he would. i mixed the formula myself, is about 60% crushed pellet and 40% lifeline with added probiotic capsules mixed in.
Anyone have any experience with Amakacin?? and any other suggestions for pneumonia. i asked about nebulizer but vet said not good idea to add more moisture in his lungs right now. just want him to pull thru this and be ok! Pray for my little Jack. he is one of my favorites.
