Why do our piggies always get sick in the middle of the night?
10:30pm when I gave Bacon & Penny meds and all 3 vitamin C and lettuce Trixie seemed fine.
I heard her choke on some lettuce. Trixie chokes on her veggies fairly often, her vets have never been able to find a physical cause.
1:00am when I went to give them bedtime baby carrots Trixie’s breathing sounds like gravel being stirred in a bucket.
Ugh. Not sure if she inhaled lettuce or what? I gave her a dose of marbofloxacin (leftover from Bacon’s URI) and nebulized her with gentocin and acetylcystine and saline (also leftover from Bacon’s URI). She sounded a bit better after the nebulizer box treatment.
I’m not sure what else I can do for her tonight? She’s not acting sick, she ate a baby carrot and was running around the cage after the neb treatment (maybe from the steroids?).
Penny has a 12pm appointment (today) with their exotics vet for a follow up urinalysis from a bad UTI, it looks like Trixie is going to the vet instead if she makes it through the night.
