Pain relief and antibiotics?

[kellyandpiggies]

Ton has been on the antibiotics for a few months now and his mouth is fine. Only for the past couple of days he has had a sore mouth, no apparent abscess forming. I think though it's when he grinds his teeth.

Anyway, I've stopped with the antibiotics for now and am just giving him pain relief (metacam). Am I doing right in stopping the antibiotics or should I carry on?

I've gone all of a fumble as what to do!

Good luck with Ton love :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
I'm sure the vet will suggest something when he gets his toofies trimmed this week
Hugs for you, try not to worry, LOL i know you will just like i do

I personally would carry on with the antibiotics unless the vet says overwise. Fingers crossed he just has a sore mouth. Keep us updated.

ok, thank you. He's not actually on the metacam now. I think those couple of days on it did him some good! O0

 

[Cavy Crazy]

Aww bless him. The thing is he may look like he don't need the antibiotics but you know what these little ones are like at covering up illness. :smitten: How long does the vets want to keep him on the antibiotics? ?

 

[kellyandpiggies]

He is going to stay on them forever. Cos of his age and the very likelyhood of him getting a mouth abscess.

Been on them s few months. Is on 0.1ml daily, sometimes twice a day. I also have metacam with me

 

[Cavy Crazy]

Awww poor Ton. :smitten: The only problem I see with that is eventually he will probably build up an immunity to the antibiotics. Is he on Baytril?

 

[kellyandpiggies]

Septrin. Vet doesn't think Baytril is strong enough for him. As long as it keeps an abscess at bay, we're happy

 

[Cavy Crazy]

Awww, that's the main thing. :smitten:
