we lost one of our healthy girls very suddenly to a suspected virus 2 weeks ago so we've been treating the whole group with Baytril/Doxy just incase,
Daisy was already on these meds anyway and whereas a couple of our other rescues were sneezing and lethargic after losing
Poppy, Daisy seemed fine so i'm not sure if she she's been hit with a virus or whether her long term problems have now deteriorated further.
I've been expecting and dreading this day for nearly 12 mths, she was extremely ill when she came here and has had numerous health problems ever since,
so know our only option now is to try a steroid injection/tablets to see if she improves at all,
I know she may not get the chance to try these as the vet may suggest having her pts

particular one to ask for, the dosage...she's 285g and if it's an injection, how long do the effects last as I know it's usually a shorter period for rats.
The vet i'm seeing today doesn't like to prescribe steroids for infections in fear of making them worse so I thought i'd try and get as much info as
possible so that I know exactly what to ask for and why as this has really helped get her better treatment in the past, we've had to fight so hard for her and
she's fought so hard to be here that I need to know i've done everything first before letting her go
