Frustrated

Yeah, the Flagyl kicks in fast. She should start perking up over the next few days. Just be sure to follow the vet's instructions and finish the whole round of medication. You will probably want to do a thorough cleaning and sterilize everything so she doesn't get re-infected. Glad to hear she is doing better! Keep us posted.

Luckily I am in the process of upgrading them to a bigger tank. It should be here this week. So they will have a nice clean home to move into. The vet is going to re-evaluate her in 10 days and give her a second dose of the Panacur/Strongid mix and also give me another dose for Shrek. I suppose I should wait until then to move them in the new tank just to be safe.

Update on Fiona. I came home and found her on her back but not stiff. She was kinda lethargic and I gave her her calcium and Flagyl. At first she was jumping around the tank trying to climb the walls but was having problems sticking. Eventually she sat in her water and then climbed right up to her sleep spot and took a nap next to Shrek (which she hasn't done in awhile). A few hours later she woke up to eat we tong fed her but she was only able to get 2. Now she is jumping around her tank again trying to climb the walls again but only gets up so far before she falls. She seems happy, she falls on her back but is able to flip right over and do it again. I'm hoping that it's going to get a little easier to give her the meds. I get real nervous and shaky afraid she is either going to jump or I'm going to squeeze her too hard. She seems to have an overbite so wedging something in her mouth is tricky but we get it done.
