Antibiotics

I hope that the cisapride and chloramphenicol can help him. Fingers very firmly crossed!

PS: If your boy has had such a bad reaction to baytril/enrofloxacin (or whether something else is going on), then giving probiotics would not have changed anything. I know that from my own experiences with adverse reactions to antibiotics. Probiotics are a not an all-heal magic wand measure as you seem to think. If they really were, every vet would prescribe them as a matter of fact. :(
 
I agree with Wiebke. Probiotics are not a miracle cure, and many of my piggies have had Baytril without having probiotics. Sadly although guinea pig medicine has come on a lot in the last 10 years or so, there are still limits to what vets can find out is going on with piggies and also limits to the treatments available. You are doing all you can for your piggy to give him the best chance. I hope that he soon turns the corner for you.
