Update on Teal...vibes please

[madhector]

Vet decided the best way forward with Teal was to scope him and see what exactly was going on. The good news is there is no deformity, everything is how it should be. He has a lung infection, which never gave him a temperature. Vet thinks there is a possibility that he also has an abscess on one side, but she said this was quite rare so will treat the infection and hope he improves, as otherwise it will need external draining

Anyway, he is now on very expensive antibiotics which are apparently the best for treating this kind of infection. I have a huge bill, but I am so relieved he will hopefully get over it. Went in thinking it might be the end of him, which at 2 seems so unfair.


Please can I have loads of healing vibes for little Teal, and just pray the drugs work and it isn't an abscess

Sending loads of healing vibes to Teal. Think I know the antibiotics you mean, vet used them on Murph when he had a respiratory infection and Norodine and Baytril didn't work. Can't remember the name without checking old bills but scarily expensive! But on the plus side it worked for Murph fairly quickly.

 

[madhector]

He is having cephaguard.

Sounds hopeful now at least. William's antibiotics were very expensive too, but they did the trick in the end.
Fingers' crossed for Teal..I know how those bills mount up..

 

[madhector]

It is scary how much it costs, and Im now back to injecting once a day, hopefully he will be a better patient than J was

 

[debradley]

Sending Teal lots of healing vibes - hope he's better soon; and wishing you lots of restful nights without too much worry.

 

[Haniki]

Good news about no deformities, hope the antibiotics do the trick. Healing vibes being sent Teal's way.

 

[Thistle]

Hope he is OK soon.

 

[AmyMay]

Lots of healing vibes for the little fella.

 

[Alibear]

ohh good news, fingers crossed Teal makes a speedy recovery.

 

[MurphysMinder]

Murph had excenel. £340 for 4g of powder that was made up to an injectable solution with distilled water! Hope the cephaguard does the job and Teal is soon on the mend.

Wishing Teal all the best...hope the medication works and makes him better.

 

[madhector]

Thankyou everyone, he seems so much brighter today, hopefully that means the antibiotics are working

I had a thought about this last night.

It couldn't be tuberculosis could it????

Hadnt thought of that, what are the symptoms again? wouldnt that give him a temp? (no idea btw)

Seeing my vet tomorrow anyway, will ask her

 

[AmyMay]

Lots to read

Here

 

[madhector]

Thanks for that, the symptoms certainly fit, will have a chat tomorrow, she has taken some samples anyway so hopefully we will know more soon

 

[AmyMay]

Hope I'm not being alarmist - it was just a thought really.......

Nice to hear he's looking brighter today though.

 

[madhector]

I think its better the plan for the worst, and then be pleasantly surprised
