I'm new to the site so first off I want to say Hello!
I've had my guinea pig Lily for 5 months now and about a month 1/2 ago I had to rush her to the vet. I could hear a crackling noise in her breath, she was lethargic and her breathing was really fast. I felt horrible for not noticing any signs of her getting sick before, but anyway after spending 2 nights at the vet in oxygen we found out she had pneumonia. Since then we've had to give her 3 cc twice a day of Enrofloxacin (antibiotic).
Now she seems to be doing much better she's eating, drinking, popcorning, running around and her breathing rate is almost back to normal, but sometimes when I hold her close to my ear I can still hear a faint crackling noise. It worrys me that after almost 2 months of antibiotics the pneumonia might still be there. So my question is....
Has anyone had a guinea pig with pneumonia before? If so did they ever recover and how long did it take?
thank you in advance for any information!!
