This little guy is a fighter!

He was eating very steadily with us for a week. He ate about 2 every other day or every other 2 days, but then he started throwing them back up. Our vet had suggested we give it to him an extra week when we called him since he still seemed a little bloated and not pooping. He said it shouldnt hurt him. When he started going into overtime with the baytril was when we noticed the throwing up.


His symptoms of anorexia and regurgitation( vomiting) need to be discussed with your vet. I would resume the baytril ( as recommended) , or call the vet on Monday. He is not throwing up because he is full. The vomiting is an important symptom to talk to the vet about as it could be a symptom of other or another parasite(s)?

Hes been in that hospital tank for at least 3 weeks now......and no poop
This could be because he is not eating and / or not digesting his food?

What other antibiotic treatment was given besides baytirl?

He was not given anything other than the baytril. the vet was hoping to get a fecal after the initial bacterial infection was over. I will call the vet again. I am starting to think perhaps he doesnt know whats wrong with my little guy =/ We did resume the baytril for most of that week and only stopped a 2 days short (when we got scared) so he nearly had an extra full week of the baytril as prescribed making a total of 2 weeks and 5 days on the baytril. The only reason we decided to stop was because we thought maybe that was why he was throwing up. Anyone know from any other threads what would cause the vomiting? Is it definitely a parasite because then I feel bad we did not press for the medication for that. He mentioned he may have a parasite but he wanted us to get a fecal sample before we just start putting him on other medications. Unfortunately..it doesnt look like we are going to be able to get a fecal from him =( I feel like I am at a standstill.
