Yesterday we heard from our vet about the culture that was made from Cookie's lumps. She had a staphylococcus, we have her the right anti biotic to battle that, which means it should no longer be present after a full week of antibiotics! Cookie has joined her cage mates Binky and Raani again, there was a lot of rumbling...
We still syringe feed Cookie because she seems to not eat enough on her own. The vet thinks the painkiller and antibiotic have upset her tummy. We were allowed to stop that now, so hopefully her appetite will improve! She still gets a probiotic and loads of TLC (doctor's order). P.s. sorry for us not being that active on the blog lately. One of us just got married, and the other two are busy syringe feeding piggies with (former) abcesses.
What a cutie-pie! I'm very glad to hear Cookie is on the mend and I'm sure she is happy to be back with her cage-mates.
ReplyDeleteMy piggies have had problems with Staph infections also; sometimes even urinary infections are caused by this bacteria. Fortunately, it usually responds well to antibiotic treatment.
