| Re: Cavy savvy vet?
Okay, so far here is my list of questions:
Can you do an anesthetized dental exam? (Needs to say yes)
What would you prescribe for mites (ivermectin or selamectin, NOT Frontline or sulfur baths)
What types of antibiotics would you prescribe for an upper respiratory infection? (Baytril, Bactrim, or TMZ, NOT any penicillin derivative, as these are toxic to small animals).
Does your clinic have hand-feeding formula such as Oxbow’s Critical Care and could you teach me to hand feed if my pig or rabbit was critically ill? (Needs to say yes)
Can Baytril be used on young pigs? ("We know the answer is that it is not recommended, there are safer alternatives for young pigs.")
What types of foods do you recommend feeding a guinea pig? ("I can't tell you how many vets told me to feed alfalfa on a daily basis!")
Are there any other questions that anyone can think if thaat I need to ask for screening? |
